Underneath the arches
(Reposted from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways, where there was no response.)
In urban Britain, railway arches are almost ubiquitous. Searching online finds no end of shops in arches, cafes in arches, businesses run in arches, light industry in arches, arches for rent - almost all contemporary.
But railway arches have been around for at least 187 years. A search on WP finds them all over the place, but the information is all scattered. Does any one know of a history, or other deeper analysis, of railway arches? Sadly, this documentary is focussed on the homeless people in the arches, not the architecture - but they are still part of the bigger picture.
So: a book? website? PhD thesis? Photo essay? Radio or TV documentary? Is there anything out there that gives the arches the attention they surely deserve? -- Verbarson talkedits 16:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Crossrail site references
Crossrail appear to have redirected all urls on their site e.g. [1] [2] to a Wayback Machine copy of their homepage [3]. This has of course broken a tonne of references. Anyone know an easy way to resolve this? the wub "?!" 11:01, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- I've made a request for a bot to fix the links. See Wikipedia:Link rot/URL change requests#crossrail.co.uk. Thryduulf (talk) 12:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
