Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1848

View of New Street station's No 3 Signal Cabin under the LMS' ownership showing various modifications including the erection of a clock above the cabin. The other obvious differences is the addition of sides to the cabin, which the LNWR have made use of by placing adverts on the sides over the passenger footbridge, as well as the removal of the arches over the top of steps. The steps leading up to the passage way through the hotel has two 'Keep to the Left' signs on the central handrail. The provision of a four-sided clock is an obvious improvement to that seen in image 'lnwrbns_str1857a' as is the provision of what appears to be a tarpaulin covering the lever frames and walkways. As there would not be an issue regarding inclement weather within the roofed station it can only be assumed the issue was bird droppings.
