Looking towards Aston No 1 signal cabin sited in the 'V' of the junction between Stechford and New Street

Looking towards Aston No 1 Signal Cabin sited in the 'V' of the junction between Stechford and New Street on 15th April 1961. The line to Stechford also accommodated the access to the shed which can be seen behind the signal cabin. The smoke associated with shed life is clearly apparent in this photograph. The railways did their best to minimise the amount of smoke generated because of the complaints from houses in the vicinity of the shed but with up to sixty locomotives on shed it was an impossible task.
