View of Birmingham Central Goods Station's signal box
following closure as seen on 30th September 1967. AE Overton wrote in his
article on Birmingham Central Goods Station in Issue No17 of the Midland
Record, 'Worcester Wharf signal box is thought to have contained a 24 lever
frame when it first opened. Except for an Annett's Key lock, provided on the
lever frame in conjunction with the locking of Cemetery Siding lever stage, the
box remained virtually unaltered until closure. The old branch train staff,
with an Annette's Key attached, seems to have been used during the 1890s for
working trains to and from the Cemetery siding, but this was probably
superseded by the new style of a short T-shaped key at some later date'.
