Just a short distance south east of Holyhead station is the signal box just out of sight of the platforms. To take this picture I stood on my short stool, looking over a wall on a busy roundabout getting some strange looks from the normals! Holyhead signal box was constructed by the LMS in 1937. It's a type 37 box that was built to replace five existing boxes. It has undergone a number of changes over time and has been modernised in recent years with horrible galvanised steel steps, UPVC cladding and windows.
