Birdingbury Station: lnwrbird1333a
Close up of image 'lnwrbird1333' showing Birdingbury
station's 1851 structure with the four-lever 'ground' frame sited under the
window on the right. A second lever frame was located opposite on the down
platform with the rodding running via a protected culvert across the tracks.
The booking office was located in the single storey structure and had been
equipped with a cantilevered bow window. This would have been to facilitate
station staff to look out for traffic on the line as they were responsible for
operating the running signals when the signal box was closed on days when the
goods yard was not being used. In addition to the standard porters trolley a
large wheeled version can be seen next to the station masters house.
