Birmingham New Street - Southern Approaches: mrbhm_sa2328
View of Brickyard Crossing signal box located on the Camp Hill
line adjacent to the L&BR route on 25th October 1964. Brickyard Crossing
was to the south of Landor Street Junction and just north of St Andrew's
Junction, at the point where the line to Exchange Sidings and New Street
station separated from the Camp Hill line. There were once a number of
Brickyards in the area which would require road vehicles to gain access by
crossing the railway hence the name. However Bob Essery who worked through the
area frequently, being a Saltley fireman, never once saw the crossing
closed.
