Wennington Junction signal box (Midland, 1890)
Wennington Junction signal box (Midland, 1890) Taken from the platform end looking west, the superb Wennington Junction signal box is seen framed by the road bridge. The Midland box, built in 1890, still boasts its huge wooden name board. Notice the starter signal positioned on the wrong side of the line beyond the box due to sighting issues caused by the curve of the track behind me. The former Midland route to Lancaster curved off to the left between the two bridges with the Furness and Midland route remaining heading to Carnforth and beyond. In April 2006 the box was closed and within a week or two was dismantled for preservation at the Poulton & Wyre Railway Society. I am unsure if the box has yet to be put to further use and I can find nothing on their website, can anybody advise me? Keywords: Wennington Junction signal box
