Close up showing Rugby No 5 Signal Box in the foreground and the signal works in the background

This close up of image "lnwrrm872" shows Rugby No 5 Signal Box in the foreground and the signal works in the background. Access to the signal box was via a steep dog-legged staircase due to the height of the box and the limited space available. Half-way up the staircase was the toilet whilst in front were two permanent way huts, one in corrugated sheeting and the other a more modern brick built structure with a flat roof. The coal lying in front of the buffers was purloined from passing locomotives to feed the fire in the corrugated mess hut.
