View of the 1891 built Stratford on Avon West Signal Box which was sited to the south of Alcester Road bridge adjacent to the up refuge siding. The signal box measured 18ft 6in by 12ft and accommodated a 29-lever horizontal tappet frame with 5¼ inch centres which was installed on 13th January 1911 as part of the upgrading of the West Country route. To the left can be seen a haystack in what was once known as Wimletts Field and which for many years was used to house the visiting fun-fair.
