View of Danzey for Tanworth station's signal box which lay at the Birmingham end of the station on the down side opposite the goods yard circa 1964. The signal box was a typical GWR structure with sliding windows to enable the signalman to clean them from inside the signal box. The levers were positioned to the front under the windows enabling the signalman to control their block section whilst viewing goods trains accessing the goods yard. Robert Ferris adds, 'The signal box was a Great Western Standard Type 7D with 22 levers which was opened on 9th December 1907 and closed on 6th December 1970'.
