The rear of the 1913 GNR Bellwater Junction signal box that also shows the crossing gates. These gates allow access to the farm of the same name that is just the other side of the railway. However, they look as though they are rarely opened and the road on the far side looked very overgrown. I took some while 'preparing' the image and getting the verticals right soon realising that the telegraph pole, dead centre, was leaning at a a hairy angle and that it was not my eye! The box stands proud of the flatness of the Fenland environment and in the winter mist it was a strangely quiet and almost eerie spot.
