LMS Route: Birmingham-Soho-Perry Barr-Birmingham

Soho Soap Works Junction: lnwrsswj2198a

Close up showing the junction with the turn off to Perry Barr being just the other side of the signal cabin

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.
