Entrance Screens
The brand new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screens on each of the 16 sub-surface platforms. These screens display digital advertisements and information for passengers.
The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery consisted of a traditional construction of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings with decorative carved elements. 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 utilized to slow the complex combination decay mechanisms that were eroding the central panel. This has slowed the need for costly replacement of the stone and also provided a soothing alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
