The Architecture the Railways Built: Hull airs Tuesday 2 May 2023 on Yesterday
Tim visits the Hull Paragon station, a stunning representation of George Hudson’s (aka “the Railway King”) enduring legacy in the city. Tim reveals the lesser-known railway story of the 2.5 million migrants who passed through Hull station, on their way to a new life in the new world, and how not all of them were able to experience the grandeur of this station.
During the Great Depression, a loan programme intended to create jobs funded the construction of a strikingly rare art deco station in Leamington Spa. Moreover, Tim learns how the Great War affected railway workers across the United Kingdom after visiting the Network Rail archives.

Season 4 Episode 10
The Architecture the Railways Built sees railway expert and train enthusiast Tim Dunn exploring the stunning architecture that lines the railway network. He visits stations made up of simple stone buildings, decorative Victorian grandeur, art deco masterpieces and striking glass and concrete structures created over the last few years. But Tim doesn’t stop at stations. He’s been given a platform to explore any structure which owes its existence to the railway: viaducts, signal boxes, tunnels, pedestrian passages, workshops, railway hotels: as well as less obvious buildings like homes, swimming pools and Turkish baths.
