Windsor Royal Shopping
A view of the entrance to the Windsor Royal Shopping arcade in Windsor town centre opposite the castle. This was originally part of Windsor & Eton Central railway station which had be reduced to just a single platform by the early-1980s. In 1982 Madame Tussauds assisted British rail in the refurbishment of the station to include an exhibition recalling the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Vistoria in 1897 featuring a scene on the platform depicting the arrival of the Royal Train, complete with figures of station staff and a full size replica train. The exhibition closed in the 1990s and with the privatisation of the railways the buildings were sold off and converted into a fashionable shopping arced as seen here. The wording on the glass in the archway originally spelt 'Windsor Royal Station' rather than 'Windsor Royal Shopping' as pictured here.
