Richmond Station's Art Deco makeover: 2
This is one of two entrances to the newly refurbished Richmond Station in west London – and just look at the 1930s ‘RICHMOND’ sign in heritage Southern Railway green. Note, too, the wonderful Art Deco clock, and the ‘Parcels and Cloaks’ sign through the doorway.
It’s all part of the restoration of Richmond Station’s historic Art Deco features carried out by Network Rail, South Western Railway, the Railway Heritage Trust and the London Borough of Richmond Council.
Well, it’s been worth the wait and the result is terrific – the outside entrance canopy has been refurbished, heritage railway colours restored, bronze doors given a makeover, rooflights cleaned and polished, and overpainted stonework cleaned and restored.
Some 9 million passengers use Richmond Station every year. I’m one of them, and I love the ‘new’ restored 1930s look. Outstanding work by everyone involved!
