Bath Spa elevated signal box

[bgman]

Good afternoon playmates

 

I'm looking for a decent photograph ( if one exists ) of the elevated signal box above the down platform at Bath Spa station. More specifically a front elevation.

I've looked / Gogul'd for images but can't find one so far.

 

Any help would be most welcomed.

 

I thank you )

Exterior - no can do I'm afraid.  However the interior is far easier,  go to the BBC iplayer 'men of steam' and watch that film and from about 14.00 onwards you'll see a view from it plus quite a  lot of the interior.   Unlike Gloucester I think Bath was a fairly standard timber structure but with the small pane windows (according to the video).

Colin Maggs 'The GWR Bristol to Bath line' has a nice clear shot, although not face on. on page 87. There is another, more distant shot from the other side on page 111. 'Great Western steam around Bristol' (Ed. C.L.Williams) has a clear but a bit distant view on page 76

 

On-line there is this aerial view http://bristol-rail.co.uk/wiki/File:Dolemeads_Viaduct4.jpg

and from the same source

There is a bibliography of books containing references to the station at http://www.transportheritage.com/find-heritage-locations.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=712

Hi Phil,

 

Thank you the last two references will help tremendously, I've got the first Maggs book and will look the other one out.

Very much obliged for your time and help.

@bgman I realise this is a very old post, and therefore whatever you needed the photos for has probably already been dealt with... However I have found this photo on a certain well known internet auction site, which may be of interest if you are still looking for pictures:

Thank you for your input it's very much appreciated.

 

I do have this photograph in my files however, the project is "on ice" due to a move last year and I am now modelling in 7mm.

 

Regards
