Sunderland station, looking north in March 1961. The removal of much of the bomb-damaged trainshed and installation of glass-and-steel verandahs between 1944 and 1953 has allowed more light onto the platforms. The station did not receive totem signage, but instead the electric lights under the platform roofing have brick-shaped diffusers carrying the station name. This style of lighting was not widely used in north east England, but was also found at Middlesbrough, Gateshead East and Manors East.
