Wilnecote Station

Happened to pass Wilnecote Station on way back from Tamworth on Sunday. Now a shadow of its former self it is very modern, rebuilt, and looked to have little of interest - until I saw this:-

Looks like a very old bracket of some sort on the bridge supporting wall. It may be holding a small light or something similar in the photos from Warwickshire Railways website dating from 1951 and 1967:-

Looks to be in about the right place - any thoughts anyone?

Above it is what looks like a telegraph/telephone wire attachment - this one is easier to trace on the above photo:-

On the opposite side of the bridge are the remnants of another bracket - this one is easier to identify:-
