Hastings signal box and one of the down starter brackets

complete with shunting signals. The box is the first type of the Southern's standard designs and was constructed in 1930. Unusually, all the lines it controls are designated as 'down' due to the nomenclature permitting the direction (from London) being via Tunbridge Wells or Ashford. It's a busy box, with nearly all of its 84 levers still in use.
