A fine example of the standard GWR signal box. Just how well designed and built these structures were has been emphasised by this railway at Broadway, where they are building one from scratch, using authentic materials and 19th century skills. This railway, like most of the heritage lines, is keeping all manner of traditional skills alive and well.
