Destination board, All stations to Middleton-in-Teesdale

Made:
1868-1964 in unknown
maker:
North Eastern Railway

Wooden platform departure sign, "All stations to Middleton in Teesdale", white on orange.

In 1965 British Rail launched new branding that made public station signs and notices clear and easy to read. Before this date, sign style varied across the network and this made navigating stations harder, especially when advertising signs mixed with wayfinding signs, leading to confusion.
