The Queen's
Looking west from London Road bridge at St. Margarets in 1989. On the right is the former siding to the (wagon) Sheet Shed, destroyed by fire in 1922. On the left was located the Queens Platform, built in 1850 for Queen Victoria (being convenient for Holyrood Palace) and used for about thirty years. This picture was taken during the short period prior to electrification when the this stretch of line was experimentally relaid at 2' gauge as a potential cost saving measure.
