Looking east at the site of Tutbury station on 15 March 1989. It's not very often that you see two signal boxes in such close proximity. On the left is Tutbury Yard Signal Box (since demolished), with the Grade II listed Tutbury Crossing Signal Box in the background. The original Tutbury station closed in 1966, but a new station called Tutbury & Hatton opened just three weeks after this picture was taken. Station rebuilding was obviously very quick in the 1980s, as only basic ground clearance for the new staggered platforms is visible in this view. The large Nestlé instant coffee factory dominates the scene. |
