London Road signal box, Leicester (LMS, 1935)
London Road signal box, Leicester (LMS, 1935) With much of the railways immediately on either side of Leicester station lying at a low-level photography in this area always required an element of looking down on to the tracks from the various roads and bridges higher above. Getting an image of Leicester London Road signal box just south of the station required this technique. The LMS Type 11c box opened in December 1935 being fitted out with a fifty-lever Railway Executive Committee frame. It would have been a particularly busy box controlling all movements in and out to the south of the station. It closed on 29.06.86 when signalling between Market Harborough and Syston passed to the new Leicester PSB. Notice the LMS' post-1935 design wooden nameboard and the neat row of three fire buckets attached to some hooks on the front wall of the box. Keywords: London Road signal box Leicester LMS
