Chippenham Junction signal box is well of the beaten track.

Indeed, it was not until the 1980s that it got mains services connected! To get to it, after driving down a track you park your car in small copse. Then a walk is taken across the Newmarket Jumps avoiding any horses out training and climbing under several fences. Following the well worn flattened grass across the jumps gets you to the back of the box as shown here. The flat roofed extension to the rear of the box was added in the 1980s and houses the signalman's personal needs facilities! Notice the fork stuck in the soil in the foreground, there was evidence of some vegetable growing in between signalling duties!
