Makes sense in the context of the old OS map which would suggest a righthand turnout ahead. I also have a copy of a DW&WR terminus diagram by McKenzie & Holland of Worcester. These are both of the same timeframe and I wonder now if that would be the maker's name at the bottom of the image. Unfortunately, other photos don't seem to include it. Must keep searching.

The GSR introduced power signalling on the Amiens St-Dunlaoire section during the 1930s with a elevated signalbox at Westland Row. Signalling was using fullsize & miniature searchlight signals commonly used during the 1930s, pointmotors and signals were possibly supplied by Westinghouse Brake & Signal Company in the UK. http://briansolomon.com/trackingthelight/tag/searchlight-signal/ http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000305055 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DART8118 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks John for the info and for pointing out that photo. I can see at least 2 others in that. Following up on your reply and the earlier one from josefstadt I've revisited the NLI image at http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306673 and I can now see another of the same type. This one would also be at the approach to a facing righthand turnout. Thanks for the great advice. Have to keep searching now to find a detailed image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
