Skegness signal box is an impressive structure that sits on the platform ramp as seen here. In common with other boxes on the line, it is in good condition with evidence that Network Rail has been undertaking some conservation work. It's pleasing to see that the wooden windows have not been replaced by the ghastly UPVC units that seem to have been put into many boxes. The is is probably due to the fact that Historic England have identified this, and a number of others on the Poacher Line, as being listed structures. So, its future is assured for the moment, at least.
