Well, it's an hour after it was posted. I reckon it's Southfields on the Wimbo line.  |

It looks like wimbledon park to me. The unusual thing? is it the "thing" under the canopy, something to do with the signalling is it?  |

The BR enamel signs are a dead giveaway.

Correct it is Southfields Well Done David and t/o92, Wimbledon park was a good guess, a 50% chance of getting it right. The give-away was the buildings i nthe top right hand corner.
On to the next question that is not a quiz, but the Starter Repeater i've never seen a design of repeater like that before could it be a pre-grouping signal repeater... a L&SWR one? I do not know myself. although i thought the L&SWR used Lower Quadrant Signalling...

Upper Quadrant Repeater.
Upper Quadrant signals were not adopted by the Main Line Railways until after the Grouping of 1923 so this 'Repeater' would be of Southern origin.
IMHO , the signal would have been considered a 'Co-acting Signal' by the Southern as it showed the same aspect as the actual signal.

I have two photographs of the station in the first post:
1, taken in the 1920's and the repeater is NOT shown
2, taken in 1969 and the repeater IS shown
So, that narrows it down a bit. I'd say it was installed around 1934 at a rough guess...
