The Museum of British Transport at Clapham in 1971, showing a corner crowded with original railway signs, notices and enamel plates mounted across the brick walls. Among the details are warnings about electrified lines, ticket issue notices, ladies’ waiting room signage, station nameboards, speed restriction plates and company notices from railways including the LNWR, Midland Railway, Great Eastern Railway and Mersey Railway. The roller shutter, green benches, litter bin and old lamps add to the effect of an assembled railway streetscape, giving the display the feel of a preserved fragment of station life rather than a conventional museum gallery. It is a fascinating record of the Clapham museum’s approach to display, using authentic fittings and signage to evoke the everyday visual world of Britain’s railways.
