LMS Route: Rugby to Market Harborough

Clifton Mill Station: lnwrclift3347a

Close up showing the signal cabin and the duct in the platform face where the point and signal rodding exited

Close up of image 'lnwrclift3347' showing the signal cabin and the duct in the platform face where the point and signal rodding exited. On the platform are three fire buckets which were most likely filled with sand. In the age of steam, with locomotives ejecting cinders from their smokebox, fire was always a potential hazard. In addition to the signalman's bike another two are evident on the platform. At the end of the building is a large can with a circular pyramid top which would have been used to store the oil used in the lampposts erected eve thirty or so feet apart.
