Halifax Railway Station Signal Box

Halifax Railway Station Signal Box is a signal box built in 1884 by the Railway Signal Company for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The structure features a brick lower portion laid in English Garden Wall bond, while the operational room is covered with horizontal weatherboarding and topped with a Welsh slate roof.

The signal box is two storeys high, with a brick ground floor that serves as the locking room, and an upper floor that houses the operational room. From the station platform, the signal box appears to be a single storey, as the locking room is situated beneath the platform. The first-floor operating room is surrounded by continuous glazing, primarily consisting of sashes with four panes, arranged with both horizontal and vertical glazing bars, and includes several horizontally sliding sashes. The southern gable end features two larger fixed sashes with six panes each, along with a high four-pane window set in the gable above. The northern gable has a central door flanked by two pairs of four-pane sashes, with an additional four-pane window above. The sides of the building contain 17 four-pane sashes, with the western side also having an extra row of 32 fixed panes below. Below these windows, five additional windows light the locking floor, with the northernmost window having been enlarged, while the others have segmentally arched heads. The roof extends beyond the gables and is adorned with decorative bargeboards and spear-point finials.

The interior of the signal box is believed to have been extensively refitted in 1969.
