Barton Hill signal box (LNER, 1936)
Barton Hill signal box (LNER, 1936) Barton Hill signal box is an LNER type 13 structure dating from 1936 that contains a 16 lever reconditioned frame. The barriers are very unusual in that they are mechanically worked by the wheel that can be seen silhouetted inside the box. I last visited the box in 1989 and took a virtually identical picture then and the scene was very similar. The only absences in 2019 were a number of cast signs that pre-dated the 'relatively' modern box! Keywords: Barton Hill signal box
