Sash windows were originally horizontally opening, but later they were made to open vertically. Robert Hooke, a British architect and philosopher, is credited with the idea. He collaborated with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for notable buildings such as Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.
Sash windows are distinct in that they can be tilted open just like a normal window. This feature is a result of the fact that sash windows are counterbalanced by pullingeys and weights that are separate. It allows them to be easily moved by a cord hidden inside the frame.

Entrance Screens
The new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screens on all 16 sub-surface platforms. These screens provide digital advertising and passenger information.
The original entrance screen to the City of London Cemetery was a traditional construction of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings as well as 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 decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This has prevented the need for costly stone replacement and provided a sympathetic alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
