Description
Bootle Signal Box is a railway signal box built in 1874 for the Furness Railway, designed in the Furness Railway Type 1 style. The building is constructed from red sandstone rock-faced ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof with round ridge tiles along the ridge and hips.
The exterior presents a small, squat structure with two bays and a low-pitched hipped roof. Access to the raised operating floor is provided by modern external steps located on the north side. The front and sides are fully glazed with modern replacement window units that include top-lights above. At the rear, there is a projecting chimney stack that has been truncated to just above the eaves height.
Inside, the signal box retains a London Midland Region lever frame consisting of 15 levers, which was installed in 1977.
