How To Recycle A Roof

This story on the BBC, tells how the old station roof at London Bridge station, is going to be given to the Vale of Rheidol railway in Wales to help build their new museum.

It wasn’t many years ago, when this structure would have been reduced to scrap, so Network Rail are to be congratulated.  Hopefully, the new museum in Aberystwyth will bring tourists to the town and create some new businesses and jobs.

I think too, that this story illustrates how intelligent recycling might be slightly more expensive, but properly done, it can save lots of money elsewhere.  The new museum in Wales is reported to be costing ten million, but how much more would it cost without the recycled roof.
