The large Wigston South Junction signal box is seen from the rear located in the southern suburbs of Leicester. The Midland box was Type 3 structure constructed in 1900. It sat in the triangle of lines that linked the Midland Mainline to the Nuneaton route via Hinkley. Graham had in his notes that there was also a Wigston North Junction box that we attempted to find but we were thwarted by new industrial developments.
