Clifton Mill Station: lnwrclift2350

Looking across to Clifton Mill station's down platform and the signal cabin located next to the main station building. It was unusual but not unknown for the signal cabin to be based on the platform. A number of stations had ground frames controlling the signals and points based on their platform. Effectively this was the same except the staff operating the levers have been protected from inclement weather by the erection of the timber framed and clad building. See image 'lnwrrp88a' for such an example at Rotton Park station in Birmingham.
