LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna1932

Schematic drawing of the signalling layout of the second station prior to the erection of Abbey Street Junction Signal Box

Schematic drawing of the signalling layout of the second station prior to the erection of Abbey Street Junction Signal Box. The signal cabin at this time was a very tall structure (see image 'mrna47') which had an excellent viewpoint over Tuttle Hill road bridge looking towards Birmingham but this arrangement only lasted a very few years as by the 1890's this large cabin had been replaced by a box at Midland Junction which survived until the end of mechanical signalling.
