Railway Signal Box On South Platform

The railway signal box on the south platform at Haltwhistle Station was built in the late 19th century for the North Eastern Railway Company. It features a ground floor made of engineering brick in English bond and a first floor that is weather-boarded, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The structure is two storeys high and includes a four-panel door on the left side of the ground floor. The first floor has a deep cyma-reversa weather-boarded coving on the overhanging front and rear, with four glazed bays above raised-and-fielded panels, each bay containing three cross windows. A cast-iron walkway with railings surrounds all four sides. The roof is low-pitched and hipped, with overhanging eaves and two glazed bays on each return. A wooden ladder stair on the left leads to a boarded door on the first floor. This building is included for its group value.
