If my memory serves, and it has been a while: The Windsor Platforms
had a different style roof from the mainline side. It was this part
of the station that was dismantled in order to build the International
station. IIRC a signal box was also removed and the approaches
straightened.
The 19th century North station was the last to be built before the whole
station was redeveloped in the early part of the 20th century. The roof of
this North station was in good condition, so was not replaced in the general
rebuilding. This then became the Windsor lines part of the station, and as
you say, was replaced when International was built.
Among other changes when International was built, the north Yard was
abolished, along with the hoist down to the W&C - so since then stock for
the W&C has to be caned in and out of the W&C Yard.
Won't a tawse do the job ?
