Little Mill Junction signal box (McK & H and GWR, c.1883) When I last visited Little Mill Junction in 1985, the site was nothing like it is now! There were virtually no trees and the vista was completely open. This is as close as I dare get to the box to take my picture, there was no gate or fencing that was strange given the obsession that the modern railway has with security. Built in 1883 by McKenzie and Holland for the GWR, Little Mill is the first on the Marches line north from Newport. It has an NX panel for signalling and one lone semaphore, as seen in this picture, that controls the single line to the left. This siding is a remnant of the former branch line to Monmouth, that closed to passengers in 1955. The initial stub of the route is occasionally used by Network Rail engineering trains.
