Description
Stoke Canon Crossing Box is a signal box built around 1874 by Saxby and Farmer for the Bristol and Exeter Railway. It features a brick and timber frame with a slate roof and is rectangular in shape, with the longer side facing the track. The building has two storeys; the ground floor is made of red brick and has three small segmental-headed windows that face the track. The upper floor is timber framed and has glazing on three sides. The track side includes sliding windows with three vertical panes separated by a central mullion, along with four horizontal strip lights above. The box has a bracketed cornice and a hipped roof with a central vent. An open wooden stair is located on the north side, which has a later added porch. Inside, there is an interlocking frame of Saxby and Farmer type 4. This is the last surviving Bristol and Exeter Signal Box.
