Shrewsbury Crewe Bank Signal Box, switched out, all main line signals cleared. An ARP design built by the GWR during World War Two. From what I gather this box is only manned when certain local movements are required. I also understand that Network Rail have permission to abolish and demolish so it certainly seems to be living on borrowed time.
