Signal Box: Littlehampton

The Signal Box in Littlehampton was built in 1886 and is a Type 2 signal box of the London Brighton & South Coast Railway. It features a 20th-century rear lean-to extension and toilet, which are not of special interest.

Constructed from brown brick in Flemish bond, the signal box has a hipped slate roof. It is two storeys tall, three bays long, and two bays wide.

On the exterior, the locking room has two cambered openings on the south-west front that have been filled in, along with a door featuring four flush panels on the north-west side. The operating room showcases a fretted eaves valance supported by fretted wooden eaves brackets and has sliding four-pane casement windows with later secondary glazing. An iron access balcony is present on the south-east side. Access to the operating room is via a wooden staircase on the north-west side, which has been boarded over. The north-west side also features a 20th-century toilet extension, while the north-east side has a lean-to extension built in stretcher bond brick, neither of which are of special interest.

Inside, the operating room retains a 1901 Bosham Pattern LB&SCR lever frame with 44 levers, an emergency bell signal, and a track indicator. The locking room contains a locking frame with bars and locking trays.
