Bournemouth West Junction Signal Box

Bournemouth West Junction Signal Box is a tall, narrow structure built of brick with a timber superstructure and a Welsh slate roof. It features a shallow-pitched, hipped roof that originally had a wooden roof ventilator, which has since been removed. The front (north) elevation is divided into two bays by brick pilasters on the ground floor. Each bay contains a modern uPVC window set under a segmental-arched brick head, with a dentil course of bricks above. Above the ground-floor windows is a name board that reads 'West Junction'. The first floor has fully glazed front and side elevations with top lights, except for the entrance in the east end wall. The uPVC windows replicate the pattern of individual lights but not the glazing bars. An external gantry runs along the north and west sides of the first floor. The doorway to the operating room is located within a projecting porch and is accessed by an external timber staircase. There is an additional doorway with a segmental-arched head on the ground floor of the east elevation. Inside, the operating room retains a Steven’s frame with 24 levers and has had a control panel installed.
