View of Snow Hill station's North Signal Box shortly before it was decommissioned to make way for the new North Signal Box relay house. Whereas the design of the original North signal box looked very precarious standing on a single row of columns with the cabin cantilevered on either side, the replacement took the more conventional route of having two sets of columns either side of track with the Signal Box bridging the two columns. On the right with the track gently sloping downwards the south portal of Hockley No 1 tunnel can be seen in distance.
