With frost from the previous night still on the sleepers, Kew East Junction signal box is seen in the morning sun. This North London box was constructed circa 1900 and looked smart but for the temporary roof repair made out of roofing felt! In later years it had a proper roof constructed of slate but at the same time, it also had the UPVC tretament. The box closed in June 2012 with control moving to Acton Wells.
