#opensim model of the booking hall at #liverpool #JamesStreet #station in 1895 based on Thomas Raffles Davison's sketch of Hamilton Square on Alamy.

i imagine the pay booth and offices were on the other side and a concession located midway between the doors.

the three lifts just fit in the space available. if there was a door street-side next to them the passage must have been narrow. Windows and the need for stairs to platform level suggest there may have been and i may add one later.

I've been focused on #Liverpool #JamesStreet #RailwayStation as part of my recreation of the #GeorgesDock area in 1895. The builds of the platform and exterior were based on sketches by Thomas Raffles Davison which were sourced from Wiki. They're also on Alamy with two more.

Here's my #opensim reimagining of the lifts/elevators that took passengers down to the platform. Lined in teak, gaslit with mirrors above and seating, it held up to 100.
