Screens for Entry The brand new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screen doors on each sub-surface platform. These screens provide passenger information and digital advertisements. The original entrance screen of the City of London Cemetery consisted of a traditional structure of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings, with decorative carved elements. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen. Nanolime was applied to slow the complex combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This eliminated the need for expensive stone replacements and provided an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
