Fenny Compton Station: smjfc17a
Close up of image 'smjfc17' showing the former SMJ structure
on the up platform which incorporated a store and a waiting room. The waiting
room has no doorway fitted and inside the entrance to the right can be seen the
partition wall. To see the store from the other side see image 'smjfc141'. The main station facilities including the
booking and parcels office were on the down platform. The station layout was
dictated by its proximity to the GWR station which was the earlier of the two
stations. The fire buckets seen on the front of the signal box were filled with
sand as this was far more effective in putting out burning or smoldering
embers. The box by the first poster is thought to contain a telephone although
being adjacent to the signal box it would seem a little unusual.
