Entrance Screens
The new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screen doors on each of the sixteen sub-surface platforms. These screens provide passenger information and 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 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 used to slow down the complicated combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding the central panel. This avoided the need for costly stone replacements and offered an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
