Soho Soap Works Junction: lnwrsswj2198a
Close up of image 'lnwrsswj2198' showing the junction with
the turn off to Perry Barr being just the other side of the signal cabin. The
bracket signal seen in this view is protecting the junction from traffic
travelling from Soho East Junction. The small extension seen on the LNWR signal
cabin is the toilet closet accessed from the landing located at the top of the
steps. At the bottom of the steps is a brick built coal bunker. Signalmen would
often prefer to obtain coal from passing locomotives than the coal supplied to
them as the quality was often so much better.
