The Architecture the Railways Built: Episode 9
Tim gets up in the rafters of Huddersfield’s Grade I listed station and examines the station’s clock, to see what makes this building tick. He takes a trip to the seaside town of Morecambe to visit the art deco wonder that is the Midland Hotel, and visits Cologne’s magnificent Hohenzollern Bridge in Germany.
The Architecture the Railways Built sees railway expert and train enthusiast Tim Dunn exploring the stunning architecture that lines the railway network. He visits stations made up of simple stone buildings, decorative Victorian grandeur, art deco masterpieces and striking glass and concrete structures created over the last few years. But Tim doesn’t stop at stations. He’s been given a platform to explore any structure which owes its existence to the railway: viaducts, signal boxes, tunnels, pedestrian passages, workshops, railway hotels: as well as less obvious buildings like homes, swimming pools and Turkish baths.
