Looking from the through down island platform towards the junction with the spur to the original branch line to Lapworth

Looking from the through down island platform towards the junction with the spur to the original branch line to Lapworth with the signal box controlling the station and junction on the right. The photograph was taken just after the station opened and shows the junction in its original form prior to be altered in 1917 when the branch was closed and the track lifted. By 1949 the signal box was open for 24 hours each day and only closed on Sunday night's at 10 30pm to be reopened at 5 00am on Mondays.
