Signal head at Chesham

I am fairly sure the goods yard wouldn't have had a signal like that. The only colour light signals at Chesham station were 3-aspect starters JV18 and JV16, two aspect inner home JV3 with a junction route indicator, and advance starter JV17 and its co-acting signal. All others were semaphore, most of them miniature, apart from JV20 from the loop which was a normal size semaphore.

I would suggest this signal head is the remains of a "training" facility, set up probably in the early days of Metronet, who established similar at other locations.

Any other suggestions folks?

I thought it was put up as part of a signaling [1] display in connection with some junketings that went on with the last revamp/repaint of the signalbox, might be wrong on this - could be singing the same tune as reg but from a slightly different point of view.

EDIT [1] ooops - I've been looking at too many Union Switch and Signal technical drawings of late. Please accept my apologies and insert the extra 'l'.

mrfs42: If it were to have been somthing to do with the repainting of the signal box, where would it have come from?
@xercesfobe: ;D

Maybe Central line?

it must have something to do as bengley says about the goods yard but that closed around 1966.

I'm sure that, at one time, Chesham was famed for its station garden. Maybe, someone decided to attempt a nursery plantation of signals - regular watering, plus the careful application of fertiliser, could eventually produce full-height signals, to be transplanted to other parts of the network ....

@bronzeonion: Hehe! ;D

Brilliant - thanks Chris M
