Weaverthorpe Signal Box

Weaverthorpe Signal Box is a signal box and weighbridge office built around 1900 for the North-Eastern Railway. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond, with the upper storey rendered. The building features a wooden stairway and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan, is two storeys high, and has a two-window front on a plinth. The upper storey is supported by clasping pilasters that jet out on stepped corbels.

On the east side, which faces Scarborough, there is a board door to the left of a 12-pane sash window with a stone sill and cambered arch. The first floor has a 2-light, 18-pane horizontal-sliding sash window. The right end has a stack at the base of the pitched roof.

The west side, facing York, has an external stair leading to the signal box door, located to the left of a 2-light horizontal-sliding sash window. Beneath the stairs is a round-headed radial-glazed window with a stone sill.

The south side, which faces the railway line, features two 2-light horizontal-sliding sash windows with stone sills. It has a saw-toothed raised brick eaves band in the barge-boarded gable end, topped with a finial.

On the north side, which faces the yard, there is a 20-pane sash window with an opening pay-window on the ground floor and a round-headed radial-glazed window on the first floor, both with stone sills. The gable detailing on this side mirrors that of the south side but lacks the original finial. The signal box is still in operation and is noted for its group value.
