Interesting post on FB View of Cannon Street station tracks (1923) This view was taken from the roof next to the signal box. The signaller’s job here was not just to control the trains in and out of the station but to be responsible for changing the points too while keeping an eye on the (other) tracks as they did so. It was a complicated job of mental agility akin to modern air traffic control.
