Yes, the distances between the supporting pillars under St. Pancras were in multiples of the size of a beer barrel.
There used to be trainloads of beer from Burton on Trent, they used to be the highlight of the evening for us spotters at Coalville, 1959-60. Usually had a 17B crab 2-6-0 on the front but strangers would sometimes turn up unexpectedly like my first 9F on the late running down empties service one night.
Cheers, 62440.
