Description
The Railway Signal Box, dating from around 1860, is constructed of stock brick on the ground floor, featuring three pilasters and two round-headed arched windows with keystones. The first floor includes two glazed sliding sash windows. It has a hipped slate roof with a wide cornice supported by brackets. A wooden ladder leads to the first-floor signals machinery. This signal box is likely one of the earliest to utilize John Saxby's patented interlocking system for points and signals.
