Image: © Dave Bevis Taken: 1 May 1984
A Midland Railway signal box erected in 1892. It closed in June 2007, when the line was resignalled, and was subsequently moved to the nearby car dismantlers yard. It was then bought and moved in early 2008 by the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway in Yorkshire to their Bolton Abbey station. It is being restored to allow the public to see how manual signal boxes worked - see Image
