Wroxham Signal Box

Wroxham Signal Box is a railway signal box built in 1900 for the Great Eastern Railway, likely by McKenzie and Holland. It features a timber frame on a brick base, with some weatherboarding and a Welsh slate roof. The lower storey has vertical joists with herringbone struts covered in horizontal weatherboarding. There are two fixed windows with five by two panes in the center front, along with a door at the south end. The upper storey has seven windows with three by three panes in front, including two sliding sashes, and two windows at each end, one of which is sliding, with the door also on the south end. The rear has horizontal weatherboarding, and the gable ends include louvres in the weatherboarding. The low-pitched gabled roof is covered with Bangor Countess slates. Access to the upper storey is via a steel staircase and wooden gallery, which includes an enclosed toilet cubicle and a balcony with handrails for window access at the front and north end.

Inside, there is a 50 lever McKenzie and Holland frame dated 1900, along with a booking desk, lockers, and a tablet. Wroxham station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1874 on the line between Norwich and Cromer, with the branch towards Aylsham opening in 1879. This signal box replaced an earlier one that stood on the station platform and is designed in the standard GER Type 7 style, which was in use from around 1885 to the 1920s.
