Wainfleet Signal Box

Wainfleet Signal Box is a Type 1 signal box of the Great Northern Railway, built in 1899. It is constructed of brick and features a slate roof.

The exterior of the signal box is rectangular in shape, topped with a pitched slate roof that has finials and timber bargeboards decorated with recessed panels. On the south-west elevation, there are two four-paned sash windows under segmental arches on each floor. The lower floor houses the locking room, while the upper floor contains the operations room. The north-east, track-side elevation features two four-paned sash windows for the locking room, and a continuous row of 6x6 paned Yorkshire sash windows for the operations room, which extends around the corners to the gable ends. Access to the operations room is via an external metal stair located at the south-east gable end, with the door to the locking room directly below. A walkway supported by metal brackets encircles three sides of the building beneath the operations room windows, and there is a tall chimney positioned towards the north-west corner.

Inside, the operations room is equipped with a lever frame and a block shelf with equipment above. Although the signalling system is manual, it is electronic. The locking room also features a bench or low shelf supported by metal brackets that runs nearly the entire length of the room.
