Entrance Screens

The new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on each sub-surface platform. These screens provide passenger information as well as digital advertising.

The original entrance screen of the City of London Cemetery consisted of a typical construction of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings that were decorated with carvings. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.

Nanolime was used to slow down the complicated combination of decay mechanisms that were causing the central panel to deteriorate. This has prevented the need for costly replacement of the stone and provided a sympathetic alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
