Looking towards St Andrews whilst in the distance a 4F stands under Coventry Road bridge whilst to the right an unknown LMS locomotive waits on the GWR connecting line. The brick-built signal box has been built with a wrapper of reinforced concrete to the ground floor where the mechanisms controlling the signals and pointwork are located. The signal box was erected in the war to withstand bomb blasts and whilst could not withstand a direct hit it was much better protected than the standard pre-war timber built designs.
