Located on Exeter's Queen Street (the name of the station until 1933) Central station looks more akin to a town hall. This attractive building dates from when the Southern Railway replaced the original building that had become too cramped and was damaged by fire in 1927. Notice the British Railways (Southern) large nameboard above the entrance. Today the entrance road has become pedestrianised and the shops have changed with the estate agents to the left now a trendy bar and bistro. In the last year or so the rather grand copper caped tower and weather vane have been removed that really spoils the balance of the building. I sincerely hope that this is a temporary measure with only repair work needed - can anybody with local knowledge please advise? A few weeks after this photograph was taken I revisited Central station to take a picture of the former Southern Railway green nameboard atop of the canopy, see.....https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/29477847404/sr-sign-exeter-central-station
