Description
Bollo Lane Junction Signal Box is a railway signal box, likely built in 1878 when the junction opened. It is designed as a Type 2 signal box for the London and South Western Railway Company, with an addition made in 1983. The structure features a basement locking room made of brick in Flemish bond, which supports a framed construction of four by two bays. This is clad in vertical boarding and has small-pane, side-sliding sash windows. The eaves boards are fretted and pointed, sitting below an oversailing, hipped roof covered in Welsh slate, which is topped with two spiked finials and a central ridge vent. Access is provided via steps, and there is an addition on the north side. This signal box is an early and largely unaltered example, believed to be the only surviving Type 2 box from the London and South Western Railway.
