It was; there were a few boxes that received the same treatment, Garden Street being all timber construction and a tall box it was deemed vulnerable to enemy attack being so close to the Docks during WW2. To this day it stands derelict but it still has its frame in situ be it tho' minus levers as they were used elsewhere. Wellowgate Crossing box was removed in two sections and conserved at the NRM at York. The only one that didn't survive was Friargate Crossing Box which burnt to the ground one night during 1990
