Bellwater Junction signal box is in a very remote spot

situated down the end of a lane. It gets its name from the adjacent Bell Water fenland drainage channel. It's an example of the GNR's final design of box, a type 4a and it was opened in 1913. Even though it is named as a 'Junction' box there has been no junction for many years. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence either on the ground or when studying an Ordnance Survey map of the line that diverged here. It was short line that headed west with five tiny intermediate stations that joined the Boston to Lincoln line at Woodhall Junction.
