Shrewsbury Crewe Junction signal box (LNWR, 1903)
Shrewsbury Crewe Junction signal box (LNWR, 1903) The pigeons appear to like the roof of Shrewsbury Crewe Junction signal box as they take in the early morning summer sunshine. The box is a charming LNWR structure built in 1903. Just in view is the end of its impressive wooden name board that acts more a running in board for passengers that simply says Shrewsbury. It looks as though the box is of a conventional construction. But, due to its elevated position from road level it towers above ground level striking quite sight when sitting in a car waiting at traffic lights on Cross Street. In the background is the striking Italianate tower of the former Shrewsbury congregational church. This has been used as commercial premises and, at the time of writing, is subject of a planning application for it be turned into apartments. Keywords: Shrewsbury Crewe Junction signal box
