Scope and Content Detail of column and spandrel at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh Haymarket Station was originally the head office and terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. It was designed by the civil engineer John Miller or possibly by David Bell, who prepared some designs for him in the 1840s. This is a detail of a fluted cast iron column and decorated spandrel. Tension rods are attached to the top of the column which in turn are fixed to the roof-trusses via struts. By 1845 the railways were booming in Scotland. This led to many changes. People became more mobile, towns were linked, perishable goods could be moved long distances, and economic growth was encouraged. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
