Clapham Junction
A class 423 (4Vep) emu arrives at Clapham Junction in 1981. Squatting over the western tracks is the 1912 Clapham Junction 'A' box, which consisted of a series of wooden sheds perched on a bowstring girder bridge. The frame once supported a 40 ton steel canopy, erected as air raid protection during WWII. This led to a partial collapse in May 1965, resulting in suspension of services while the canopy was removed. Clapham Junction 'A' signal box closed in 1989 see image 5687.
