LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa42b

This close up of image 'smjsa42' shows the former E&WJR signal box which was decommissioned in 1910 upon the opening of a new signal box at the west end of the up platform. The new signal box was erected at the same time as the new carriage shed and two additional sidings were built by the newly formed Stratford Midland Junction Railway. The lean-to building was used to accommodate the Signal & Telegraph Department which also provided access to the signal box structure via an internal staircase.
