Southampton Central railway station signal gantry1950's - oil painting
The end of the platform at Southampton
central station (Hampshire) is shown in this oil painting, created
during late 2021. It is based on a B/W photo taken by J Bailey that
was taken at some point in the 1950's.
One dominant and famous feature of the station is the large semaphore signal gantry situated at the western end of the station, which was removed in 1981. A small Victorian build 0-4-4 tank locomotive is receiving water before continuing with its journey to Fawley, on a branch line, with the main line running to Weymouth in Dorset.
The painting is sized at 33” x 23” and dome on primed mounting board. It can be seen in greater detail on this link.
