Long Beck signal box (LNER, 1932)
Long Beck signal box (LNER, 1932) The absolutely delightful 1932 LNER signal box at Long Beck. It is located at a level crossing next to the station of the same name that opened in 1985. The lovely square symmetrical design has been somewhat compromised by the ghastly palisade fencing that surrounds it; a sign of the times perhaps? The box used to have an eight lever frame but this has been replaced by a huge array of instruments that control all the lines and workings to the east including the Skinningrove and Boulby mine freight-only lines.
