A second view of Coventry No 1 Signal Cabin showing with the
empty stock working still held at signals. When the signalman at Coventry No 1
Signal Cabin finally pulled off, the empty stock working was signalled along
the through road, and Coventry No 3 Signal Cabin had cleared his distant. The
LMS bracket signal in the foreground replaced the poorly sited earlier LNWR
signals. The down main bracket signal was arguably not too well sited either
being only just high enough to be seen at a distance over the Quinton Road
bridge. However, it was then too high to be seen comfortably close up,
especially in fog. The BR replacement was put in on the other side of the
bridge. The building to the right of the signal box is what passed for a coal
stage at the loco shed.
