Description
Falsgrave Signal Box is a railway signal box and signal gantry built by the North Eastern Railway Southern Division in 1908. The structure is made of stretcher bond brick, supporting a glazed upper storey with wooden boarded gable ends and a slate roof. It features a seven-bay basement with nine-pane sash windows facing the railway. Access to the signal box is via an attached wooden external staircase leading to a door in the gable end. The interior retains the original lever frame with 120 levers. The signal gantry, which extends across the railway tracks, is of lattice cast iron and dates from around 1930, associated with the London and North Eastern Railway. It includes four square signal posts and two round posts, supporting a total of ten semaphore signals. The signal box and gantry were illustrated in "Steam Railway Magazine" in October 1984.
