Telegraph pole, The Engine Shed, Students' Union building, UON Riverside campus
A telegraph pole is a reminder of the practicalities of
the area around the Midland Railway's former line adjacent to the superbly restored 1872 engine shed that is behind me. The area was home to a substantial area of sidings being in use by the PW department in various forms up until as relatively recently as 2003. This telegraph pole still with a number of its porcelain insulators would have carried wires linking Hardingstone Junction and Bridge Street signal boxes.
