Llanfair P.G. crossing box. Originally a signal box until 1973 but nowadays classified as a crossing box as the whole area is controlled from Bangor but the crossing keeper is still manning the gates under Bangor signal box authority. Opened in 1871, it's the last remaining all brick design built by the Chester & Holyhead Railway. The box is not classified as listed and new windows were put in 2003 to replace smaller pane style windows. In 2000 it won the best kept crossing box in the North West Zone of Railtrack with thanks to the crossing keepers on duty attending to window boxes and the rest of the floral display.
