Eastfield Signal Box

Eastfield Signal Box is a signal box built in 1894 by the Great Northern Railway. The frame is said to have been replaced in 1940. It features a London stock brick base with a timber upper storey and a slate roof. The base has four bays with small six-pane windows that have segmental heads in the locking room, and the bays are separated by plain pilasters. The upper floor is fully glazed at the front and ends, with sliding timber windows and an external gallery. The rear wall is made of brick and has three small windows. The gabled ends have vertical boarding, fretted bargeboards, and a spike finial. An external timber staircase leads to the entrance doorway and a WC. Inside, there is a 65 lever GNR locking frame that is said to have been installed in the existing box in 1940. This signal box is a GNR Type 1 and is part of the main line's widening, which had been fully block worked since 1873, with interlocking completed on the GNR in 1892.
