Essentially the same viewpoint as https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6320971 , the yellow bags indicating the actual site. The box has been preserved as part of the display of railwayana (Lowdham Railway Heritage) by the occupier of the former railway station. It was moved intact during the night of 24 October 2020 by being lifted by crane onto a low-loader lorry, and redeposited alongside the station building at the rear of the northbound platform http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6695965. Some views of the move can be found here https://www.railinsider.co.uk/2020/11/13/signal-box-moves-100-metres-overnight/#:~:text=The%20signal%20box%20at%20Lowdham,stood%20for%20over%20120%20years.
