Birmingham Snow Hill "clapper" on old 78 record

I seem to remember an old 78 rpm record which had a comic story about the "clapper" which was fitted in the tunnel at Snow Hill so that enginemen knew where they were in the tunnel when it was full of smoke. Any info about either the "clapper" or the 78 would be appreciated. I would assume the record dated bck to the 1930s.
