Pelham Street signal box was located by the Down Main line alongside Pelham bridge (at one time next to the Durham Ox crossing) and was a Great Northern Railway Type 1 design which opened in 1873 fitted with an 80 lever Rapier 1870 Patent frame, replacing an 1867-built signal box. On 20th July 1918 a replacement Tyer-manufactured 100 lever Great Northern Railway Duplex frame (frame number 4419) was installed. The signal box was closed on 19th July 2008 and was demolished on 18-19th August 2008, although officially it closed on 1st September 2008 when signalling passed to Lincoln Signalling Centre
