View of Duddeston Road Junction's third and last signal box being erected to open on 2nd October 1955. The first signal box was known to be open prior to 1877 and was replaced by the second signal box, seen on the left, when it opened on 23rd September 1888. Its thought that the opening of the second signal box coincided with the development of Lawley Street Goods Station and the need to remove Duddeston Mill Road level crossing due to the large volume of traffic.
