Close up of image 'lnwrcov571' showing Coventry No 3 Signal
box with the footbridge to Spencer Road Park immediately behind in 1919. The
little extension by the door to the signal box was the toilet used by the
signalman. At the bottom of the steps is a coal bunker filled to the top to be
used by the 'bobbies' manning the box in three shifts per day, seven days a
week and fifty-two weeks of the year. Beneath the bridge is a tall timber set
of steps, their purpose unknown but they are high enough for someone access the
top of a covered wagon or box van.
