Sash windows are usually comprised of two frames, one of which is placed on top of the other. The box is used to keep them together.

Sash windows originally had horizontal opening, but later were made to open vertically. The invention of this type of window is credited to the British philosopher and architect Robert Hooke. He collaborated with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for a number of notable buildings like Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall Warwickshire.
Sash windows are unique in that they can be tilted open as a regular window. This is because of the fact that sash windows are balanced with pulleys and weights separately. A cord concealed within the frame allows them to be moved easily.

Screens for Entrance
The new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screen doors on each of the 16 sub-surface platforms. These screens display digital advertisements and passenger information.
The original entrance screen to the City of London Cemetery was an old-fashioned construction consisting of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings as well as decorative carvings. 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 used to slow down the complex combination decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This has eliminated the need for costly stone replacement and offered a more tolerant alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
