This small cabin at the level crossing is a block post on the line to Buxton. The gates are manually worked by the signaller. The road is signed at its junction as 'Unsuitable for long vehicles', and this shot shows why - sharp bends either side of the crossing and a severe hump with a risk of grounding.
