Hensall Signal Box

Hensall Signal Box is a small, rectangular structure built of brick laid in Flemish bond, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building features a shallow-pitched, hipped roof. The first floor operating room has continuous glazing on the north side, which faces the tracks, and on the front half of the western end wall. The windows are made of uPVC and have been altered from their original design, which consisted of paired horizontal sliding sashes, each with four panes and a fixed top light above. Currently, each of the three pairs of front windows includes one fixed sash and one inward-opening casement set above a fixed light, all divided by glazing bars. The doorway is located at the east end and is accessed by a modern set of steel steps. Next to the door, there is a small modern projection for a toilet, which has a slate roof that matches the main roof.

Inside, the ground-floor locking room has a low ceiling and retains its pair of original windows facing the tracks. These openings feature segmentally arched brick heads adorned with blackened brick headers. The signal box also houses a reconditioned McKenzie & Holland lever frame with 10 levers, installed in 1964, which functions as a set of interlocked electrical switches. This frame is positioned at the rear of the box, allowing the operator to face away from the tracks.
