Taken from the pedestrian footbridge the now closed Gillingham signal box is seen. The box closed in 2015 when a major signalling upgrade programme was activated. The box still stands at the level crossing on Church Street and looks to be in very good condition considering that it's been shut for three years. The box was constructed by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1913. It was originally called Gillingham B but this suffix was dropped when the A box closed in 1973.
