Signal Box

The building is a signal box constructed from red brick in English bond, featuring some black and yellow brick dressings, and topped with a slate roof that has a single brick wall chimney stack. It has a rectangular plan and is situated on the south side of the tracks.

The signal box is two storeys high and has two bays under a pitched roof, with a wall stack rising from the south pitch. The gable ends are partly weatherboarded with vertical timber panels and are adorned with curvilinear traceried bargeboards and finials. The elevation facing the track includes black and yellow brick string courses, two recessed window panels at ground-floor level with dogtooth courses above, and a dentillated course beneath the walkway. The window panels feature six-over-six-pane horned sashes with four-centred arch heads and polychromatic voussoirs. The east side has a similar window panel, while the west side has a door leading to the locking room. Access to the top-floor room is provided by an external 20th-century flight of steps on the west side, leading to a partly glazed door. At this level, three sides are glazed with horizontal-sliding, triple-light, multi-pane windows that have timber glazing bars, separated by narrow wooden stanchions. The upper part of the frame has segmental arches above each window. A planked walkway with an iron handrail encircles the three glazed sides.

Inside, the signal box contains a mechanical signal lever frame from 1925, which consists of a series of hand-operated levers extending the full length of the box. This frame is still in working order, although it has been supplemented by 21st-century electronic gear and track display screens.
