The sign from the original Willenhall Railway Station dates back to around 1948 during the nationalisation of the railways. Workmen discovered the sign at the bottom of a pile of rubbish, covered in melted bitumen. The group then handed it over to Willenhall History Society who restored the sign using paraffin and degreasers and added a new end piece. Brian Read, chairman of the Willenhall History Society, said: “It was fortunate the sign survived the fire in such good condition. We repaired it in the hope it could be displayed and the new railway station is the perfect place.
