Brief Overview: New Street Signal Box has kept the regions network moving for decades- originally housing the Westpac Geographical Interlocking & Signalmens push button control panel (the largest relay interlocking in the world when installed) and also the Railway Telephone Exchange.  However all operations are due to be moved to state of the art West Midlands Signalling Centre in Saltley, with the Signal Box set for a phased decommissioning.
 

Concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are never exactly the same.
