GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Hall Green Station: gwrhg463a

This close up of image 'gwrhg463' shows the signal box controlling access through the station together with the goods yard etc. The main sidings and goods shed were accessed off the up line being located partly behind the up platform and forward in the direction of Birmingham. There was also a siding on the down side of the station. From a sketch in Mike Hitches book 'Warwickshire Railways' to rather short and might provide access to a building of some kind, probably relating to a nearby factory.

The signal adjacent to the signal box appears to have an upper quadrant arm meaning it was a more recent addition. As the point work to siding just referred to is immediately in front of the signal, protecting both the siding and the station, it might well have been installed when the siding was installed.
