Proposed changes at Whitechapel Station and Durward Street

[Andrew Firth]

Some computer generated images of the proposed station rebuild at Whitechapel have just been posted at http://londonreconnections.blogspot....itechapel.html

I'm not sure what I think of this, to be honest. One of the images shows Durward Street and the board school, and it looks very much as if what little Victorian atmosphere that remains at the station will be stripped away for ever.

All the best

And Woods Buildings seems to have been swept away in this rebuild too.

Thanks for this alert, Andrew. Here's a Google with various other images of Whitechapel Station, several of which were used in my article, "Escape from Buck's Row" in Ripperologist August 2008.
