Syston South Junction signal Box (MR, 1890)
Syston South Junction signal Box (MR, 1890) Syston South Junction signal box looks to be well stocked for the winter with a huge pile of coal bags conveniently placed at the bottom of the steps! The box was a Midland Railway Type 4c design which opened on 26.11.11 fitted with a fifty-seven-lever Midland Railway tappet frame. It was to close on 11.04.87 when signalling from Syston to Loughborough and Frisby passed to the Leicester PSB. Notice the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design nameboard unusually located on the front of the box rather than just below the gable ends as was the MR's usual practice; I hope that it was rescued when the box was unceremoniously demolished.
