Nestle Vending Machine

Wall-mounted Nestle confectionery vending machine, red casing with red and white front, 5 drawer, to take 3x10p coins.

Stations were the location of the first ever vending machines. Percival Everitt devised a coin-operated postcard and stamped envelope dispenser that appeared in stations in 1884. Soon after, there were vending machines for confectionery, tobacco and even Eau de Cologne.
