A true LMS scene at Cricklewood with the 1929 box and a parcels van basking in the afternoon sunshine. I suspect that this box was double manned given its size and the amount of traffic it handled. In this view, a superb Midland wooden bracket signal that used to sit adjacent to the southern end of the box has been removed. This had a variety of arms including a calling-on arm for shunting purposes. Notice that the windows into the frame room have been bricked up on the box.
