Sign, enamel, Great Western Railway, "G.W.R. Parcels Received here for all parts", red on white, double sided.
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.
