A view of Coventry No 2 Signal Cabin, the only cabin
provided by Saxby & Farmer in 1874 to survive the 1910 signalling
installation, is seen surviving to the early 1960s. For many years the rear of
the L&BR station building was screened from view by the roof of the parcels
dock which stood in front of it. Demolition of the parcels shed occurred in
1961, as part of the station reconstruction for electrification has revealed
this elevation, and provided a glimpse into the tiny back garden of the station
house.
