RMweb Premium iands Posted October 10, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2021 One from my archive. A care-worn Greetland Jnc SB taken on 30-04-1998. The 'box was not regularly manned at this time. Me and a colleague were undertaking a telecoms survey on the Dryclough Jnc-Greetland Jnc-Bradley Wood Jnc-Bradley Jcn route in connection with reopening this route again for a Bradford Interchange-Halifax-Huddersfield service. The line that disappears off the left edge of the photo is to Milner Royd Jcn, the line curving round the far side of the relay room is to Dryclough Jnc (then to Halifax), and the line disappearing off to the right leads to Elland SB and Bradley Wood Jnc (then on to Heaton Lodge and Mirfield), and form Bradley Wood Jnc a single line to Bradley Jnc and Huddersfield. The guy on the cherry-picker was a BT contractor attending a line fault for a circuit into the 'box. This is a view of the block shelf with two telecoms concentrators on it. The left-hand one was for direct lines to other signal boxes and point zone telephones, the right-hand one was a Selective SPT concentrator - with a circuit lit up, another fault! The pieces of timber on the far right of the block shelf are scotch-blocks used for "clipping and scotching" points. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it could be an old brick base with a replacement top. Apparently it was built like that, link here https://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/Manchester_Irwell_Bridge_Siding_GF.html If I were in the office instead of working from home, I would be able to look over the site of Irwell Bridge Sidings, because our office is built on what is the site of Manchester Exchange station.
