Description
Ecclesfield Signal Box, located on Railway Lane, is a late 19th-century signal box built by the Midland Railway. It features a timber frame with both horizontal and vertical board cladding and is topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys tall and consists of a single cell. The ground floor has horizontal boarding, while the upper floor has vertical boarding. The windows are wood-framed with shouldered heads and small-pane glazing. On the south-east side, there is a boarded door on the left and a window on the right. Steps lead up to the first-floor door, which is flanked by windows. A name board is positioned at the eaves on the right side. The roof is oversailing and hipped, complete with an apex finial. The railway side features a blind on the ground floor, with continuous glazing and a balcony above. On the north-west side, there are two ground-floor windows. Inside, the switching gear was removed around 1977, but the bench box remains.
