Afternoon all!

 

Does anyone have any info/pictures of this box, please? I'm researching this section of the Birkenhead to Chester line, and I would like some more info, if I can find it- I think it used to be next to the bridge over Bebington Road, but I'm not sure...….

Dean - The box was at the other end of the station - not the Bebington Road end. It can be seen in this blurry image of a Black 5 passing - about to enter the cutting through to Rock Ferry.

This view was actually taken from the box, and the station (thus with Bebington Road just beyond the signals) can be seen in the distance.

I seem to recall a few photos appearing in a thread on here not too long ago, but I can't find it just now. I think it showed some of the interior. The only view I have of the box itself is of 9F 92046 passing at speed (or what a Box Brownie perceives as speed), taken by a friend of mine on 5th August 1967.

Hope it helps! Sorry about the tardy reply, but I've only just seen the question...

 

Edit:  managed to find the other thread I was taking about  (from flyingsignalman) at:
