Gothic in India: Bombay Railway Station

Synopsis: The Victorian Gothic Revival-style Victoria Terminus Train Station in Bombay was built as an expression of British power and wealth in India, but it also reflects a meeting point of two cultures. Its architecture and decoration beautifully reflect a synthesis of Western and Indian elements, creating an architectural hybrid and providing a reference point for an exploration of what happens when two cultures collide.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
