Signal Box at Crawley

Image: © Elliott Simpson Taken: 2 Jul 2007

For many years this signal box controlled the level crossing gates at a notorious bottle-neck on the London to Brighton road. It is a typical Saxby and Farmer design with hipped roof, sliding windows and top-lights, on a tall brick base. It was erected in 1877 and ceased operational use in 1986. It is Grade 2 listed and looked after by The Crawley Signal Box Preservation Society.
