Very proud of our restoration of the Waterloo bookstall now installed at station hall York

We’re feeling a little nostalgic - and incredibly proud! 📚🚉

A big thank you to the National Railway Museum for beautifully restoring and displaying one of our original WHSmith station bookstalls.

Once a familiar sight on the platform at Waterloo Station, the stall is located within Station Hall, a newly restored, refurbished and reimagined space celebrating the unique life and history of Britain’s train stations.

This little kiosk had a big purpose, serving countless travellers over the years, offering a book, a paper, or a moment’s escape between journeys. We're thrilled it’s now part of something so special, helping to bring this piece of railway - and WHSmith - history to life for new generations to enjoy.

If you're heading to York, make sure to stop by for some loco-motively good fun!

A very long story, this cabinet came to us over 45 years ago for restoration, work was not started pending decision of client. We eventually acquired the piece and have been able to restore it to a new clients taste with linen fold panels and a grey marble top, just goes to show never give up on the projects.
