Station Master's Office sign, British Railways

Sign, Station Master's Office, British Railways, North Eastern Region. Enamel on tin. '17' on back. Made by the Patent Enamel Company Limited, Birmingham.

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.
