Somerton signal box (GW, c.1906)
Somerton signal box (GW, c.1906) The lovely signal box at Somerton. The box was one of the GWR's brick-built Type 7B boxes. It opened circa 1906 and was abolished in February 1985 when the area came under the control of Westury PSB. In 1942 a forty-four lever Vertical Tappet frame was installed. I love the short Western Region down home signal complete with it finial that, if the picture was in colour, would have been seen clearly painted red. Keywords: Somerton signal box
