RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted January 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2021 Not sure if these are of interest but here goes. All of these are from my negative and original slide collection. I am not old enough to have taken any of them, lol . Inside Greenwich Park box, probably about 1910 Fencote station after closure, but before restoration One of my favourites if not just because of its height is Duffryn Rhondda Colliery Signal box One that I still do not know where it is, a Stevens' standard design of box, according toused on the the Whitehaven Cleator & Egremont, the LYR, the SER and the LCDR. A further comment suggests that the p.way is LCDR and that no Stevens' boxes were installed on that railway after 1881- most of these negatives now appear to be around the Edwardian period.Kevington and Petts Woos were both LCD signal huts, not full size signal boxes. Petts Wood can be seen in the J.J. Smith Collection (Bluebell Railway Museum). Brasted was a Stevens box. Now a query. Does anyone have a good view of the rear of West Moors signalbox on the LSWR? - The best view I have found is on the West Moors thread. I am still trying to work out where the door to the locking room was 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I was in email correspondence with some long time friends and there was a discussion on Grimbsy Docks. On searching for photos I came across this box at Pyewipe Road in 1988 amongst the dereliction of the docks.

Google produced just three references, two of them to the railway. On the GN/GE Joint Lone and apparently now clad with UPVc rather than timber (it may be in the photo above). Thanks to all for the photos. A great thread. Jonathan It appears to have been swept away a little while ago, presumably with the joint line upgrade before freight returned on a regular basis. Next box north was Sleaford South IIRC. It was just south east of Helpringham on a road that connected two droves along Helpringham Fen, which ever way you went, you ended back at Helpringham. I spoke to the bobby there back in the early noughties when 60009 DoSA passed by on a railtour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
