Monument Lane Station: lnwrml2228a

Close up of image 'lnwrml2228' showing Monument Lane's extra tall signal cabin on the left and on the overbridge the front elevation of the station building. The signal cabin was a standard LNWR design except that it has been elevated by approximately thirty feet above the machine room. Outside the glazed area was a cantilevered walkway allowing the signalmen to clean the windows, a job that was clearly important as the smoke and dust would soon soot up the glass. The station was accessed by passengers arriving by road or foot via a booking office located at road level and then descended to the island platform to the waiting rooms.
