Technically not the best quality but I have included this photograph of Salisbury East's up bracket signal for historical interest. The rather grand latticed structure controlled departures from the station and the east yard towards the next block post at Salisbury Tunnel Junction. Access for the seventeen-year-old photographer was permitted by railway staff after the issuing of an orange tabard following a quick safety talk regarding avoiding venturing on to running lines; it was so much simpler back then!
