Very good website here with some crisp detail shots of diagrams; other rarely-seen joys like TD set up equipment in Finchley Road for CHX, KX push button panel in Covent Garden and Northolt push button at West Ruislip. |

And the owner of that Fotopic does have a lovely beard and an unhealthy view that wearing socks with sandals is a good thing!

Don't recall seeing the owner anywhere but what an excellent page! So glad you put that up, that really is fascinaing. It'd take a good while to get through all the pictures in detail.

Yeah - I'm puzzling over this one ; I think it is NH 2 with RNH 3/7 underneath and the remains of the fixings for the two goods distants and FRNH 3 akimbo over the air main: if that's the case what's the main signal under the cable bridge - the photographer must be looking out of the tunnel mouth, I think. |

This was NH2, the Park Junction northbound junction home signal, which was a combined stop and repeater signal. (NH1 was the Highgate HL NB starter). The flat top to the signal is because it used to have a junction route indicator (arbour lights) above it for the Alexandra Palace route. The photographer would have the tunnels behind him, but not immediately behind - the tunnels mouths were some distance back - not sure by how much but possibly a train's length (and a bit?).

TVM - I've just had a reply (in another place) from the photographer's wife dating it to 1977/79 and the track in rear of the signal was most probably lifted. NH 2 was fixed at red, pending alterations, apparently
The signal was less than 400' from the tunnel mouth as FRNH 1 was dead on the distance and inside the tunnel. I suspect a train length and a car.
