View of Nuneaton No 3 Signal Box located on the Stafford side of the station amidst the running lines and extensive marshalling yard sidings. Peter Lee states in his book on the Trent Valley that the 180 lever frame was the same size as Nuneaton No 1 Signal Box but that not all levers were in use. The height of the signal box was designed to maximise the visibility of the staff operating the box. In the case of Nuneaton No 1 and 3 Signal Boxes this required two floors to support the box itself whereas in the case of the intermediate boxes as seen in image 'lnwrns1667' one floor was suffice.
