Portadown roof

Rate this question


Question

Posted

Did Portadown station ever have a proper roof? Almost all pictures I’ve seen just show canopies on the platforms except this one:

Usually the captions on these photos aren’t wrong, but did Portadown really have a roof like this? I tried looking at old OS maps but it’s hard to tell the difference between the canopies and an actual roof. Although it looks like there’s a roof behind the station in this photo:

I’d be interested in seeing if there’s any other photos of it if they exist. Also on a slightly unrelated note, did Armagh have a roof? Photos of the station show supports spanning the tracks but I can’t find any old enough to confirm whether there was ever actually one there.

...This photo from Jonathan Allen is from the same angle and the roof is missing:

Portadown station - May 1970

 

The question is when the glass roof was removed. Are there any surviving records indicating when that was done?
