Station seat, Great Eastern Railway, slatted bench on cast iron supports decorated with nets, fish and shells, ex Yarmouth South Town station.
The railways have always provided benches and seats for passengers waiting for their train to arrive. Styles of seating have changed over the years. Some reflect the company’s aesthetic; others helpfully show the station’s name. The type of seating chosen and its location, can reflect practical considerations such as station space and the benches’ durability and comfort.
