Caverswall Signal Box
Caverswall signal box is situated on the Derby - Stoke line of the former North Staffordshire Railway, it opened in 1942 to control new up and down goods loops provided as part of the war effort.
The box is a LMS 11c with wartime 14" thick brickwork for the base. The goods loops remain, although they see very little use these days. Lifting barriers replaced the level crossing gates here in 1983. Currently the box works Absolute Block to Foley Crossing and Uttoxeter.
Over the years the box has amassed further equipment, Blythe Bridge CCTV (08/03/1980), Stallington CCTV (12/03/1989), Cresswell AHB (18/03/1989), Upper Leigh and Leigh AHB's and provision of Up Main IBH at Lower Nobut (11/07/1999).
