Chichester Signal Box

Chichester Signal Box was built in 1882 for the London Brighton & South Coast Railway and is designed in the Saxby & Farmer Type 5 style. The locking room is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond, featuring red brick voussoirs, an impost band, and stone keystones. The operations room is timber-framed and clad in horizontal weatherboarding, topped with a hipped slate roof.

The building is two storeys high and measures five bays long by two bays wide. The exterior includes a tall panelled locking room with round-arched openings that are now blocked, and a round-headed arched entrance on the east side, which also has red brick voussoirs and a stone keystone. The operations room features posts between the bays, supported on brackets beneath the overhanging eaves. Above the windows, which are sliding six-pane casements, are oval panels, with most on the front or west side retaining their original curved heads. Access to the operations room is provided by a tall two-flight wooden staircase at the east end.

Inside, the signal box has a 20th-century suspended ceiling and secondary double-glazing, and the lever frame was replaced by a panel in 1991, though these features are not considered of special interest.
