Description

Snodland Signal Box was probably built in the 1870s and designed for the South Eastern Railway Company. It is made of timber, covered in weatherboarding, and sits on a concrete plinth with a hipped slate roof.

The signal box has two storeys, although the locking floor is very low. The front or east elevation features two pairs of sash windows with vertical glazing bars and horns, along with two single sash windows on the end elevations. Below the windows, there is an iron access balcony supported on brackets. Access to the operating room is provided by a wooden staircase on the north side, leading to a half-glazed door. Attached to the western part of the north side is a long mid-20th century single-storey extension made of corrugated iron or asbestos, with a pitched felt roof and continuous glazing, clad in weatherboarding at the north end. This later addition is not considered of special interest.

Inside, the operating room has a boarded ceiling and walls. Some original block instruments remain, including bells, a repeater, and a commutator, but the lever frame was replaced by a panel in 2005, which is not of special interest.
