Great Central Railwayana Auctions

Auction Catalogue: Great Central Railwayana, 19 January 2008

Lot 18 An LMS Hawkseye Sign "FENNY COMPTON", from the Stratford upon Avon and Midland Junction Railway which closed to passengers on the 7th April 1952 and completely in 1964/65. The station was renamed Fenny Compton West in 1948, to differentiate it from the GWR Station close by on the Banbury - Leamington route, however the new suffix was not applied to the signs, as this example is in its original LMS black and yellow, with reflective glass coating; 55" long and just at it was removed. An example from this station has never been offered for sale before.
 This lot sold for £2800
