Description
The signal box, built in 1908, is a notable structure located in Princes Risborough. It is constructed of red machine brick with blue brick quoins and dressings, featuring a timber-framed upper floor and a hipped slate roof. The building is rectangular, with the longer side oriented towards the track, and consists of two storeys. The ground floor has a nine-window range with glazing bars on segmental-headed windows. The upper floor, which is fully glazed on three sides, has horizontally-sliding windows and a bracketed eaves cornice. An open wooden stair is located on the south side.
Inside, the signal box originally housed 100 levers and managed the main line along with three branch lines radiating from Princes Risborough; many of the original levers are still present. This signal box is the largest and only unaltered example of a "Churchward" era Great Western Railway design box.
