Dorrington signal box (LNW & GW joint, c.1872)
Dorrington signal box (LNW & GW joint, c.1872) Taken from the road bridge to the south of the site of the old station (closed 09.06.58) Dorrington signal box is seen. The box was constructed is a Type 1 LNW/GW joint design built c.1872 containing a 33 lever frame. Notice the mixture of upper and lower quadrant arms consummate with the box's heritage. When I last visited in 1981, I was able to take a picture standing on the loop that ran in the space to the right of the present day running lines. I would have been standing approximately just in front of the signallman's 2009 Ford Focus. Either the box was switched out and I ventured trackside or or the signalman on-duty permitted me access. My notes do say that the box had a wooden nameboard that I believe is still fitted today and that I saw the 1M84 11.50 Cardiff to Crewe working with an unidentified class 33.
