LONDON SIGNS: A Southern Railway London Blackfriars train station target sign, circa 1937,
An original vintage London Blackfriars train station target sign, for Southern Railway station, produced circa 1937, in green and white enamelled metal, target form, manufactured by ‘Mead McLean Ltd, London’,bearing manufacturers painted label to reverse, 91cm x 33cm
London Blackfriars as a station name came into existence in 1937, when the name of St. Pauls station was changed to avoid confusion with the newly renamed London Underground station.
This sign is a Southern Railway sign and colour-way indicating that the sign was produced between the time of the name change and the station becoming part of British Rail in 1948. Due to the scarcity of metal during World War II it is likely that this sign was manufactured between 1937 – 9. Mead McLean produced many rail signs during this period and were known for their enamelling process.
Dimensions: 91 x 33cm
