Lavington signal box (GW, c.1900)
Lavington signal box (GW, c.1900) Just catching the late afternoon dying rays of sunshine, Lavington signal box is seen. It is one of the Great Western's Type 7d boxes built with a hipped roof and with the classic three panes over two window arrangement. At this stage, Lavington box was half way through its final weekend of operation as it shut completely on the next Saturday night. It's interesting to note that the cast plate on the front of the box says 'Lavington' but it is actually situated close to the villages of Market and Great Lavington. So, I suppose to avoid upsetting the locals when the GW opened the station and box they chose the generic name. Incidentally, the station closed in April 1966. Keywords: Lavington signal box
