Authentic Vintage Liverpool Street Station Train Indicator "Finger Board" – Shenfield (Red Variant)
£75.00
Acquire a fantastic piece of British transport heritage with this authentic, original railway platform indicator "finger board," salvaged from London’s historic Liverpool Street Station. Dating from the mid-20th century era of manual departure indicators, these double-sided, heavy-duty wooden boards were slid into trackside display frames by hand to point passengers toward their departing trains.
This specific board features the major Essex railway junction Shenfield in crisp, bold sans-serif block lettering painted on a striking, vibrant red background. As the historic boundary between London's outer suburban lines and the wider Great Eastern Main Line, Shenfield is one of the most famous stops on the network. In old Eastern Region station signaling practice, red-backed boards were typically utilized to denote fast commuter expresses or limited-stop main line services.
With its striking vertical layout, bright color pop, and wonderfully aged patina, this genuine piece of Railwayana serves as an exceptional architectural statement. It is perfect for mounting in a home hallway, a commercial bar, or adding to a dedicated transport collection.
