The typically Midland signal box at Sharnbrook is seen in the evening light. It is an example of the 2B type box, that was a very common design but, unfortunately, I have no details of when it was opened. I would suspect that it would date from c.1890. This picture is taken from the old goods yard, that itself was situated at the southern end of the former down fast platform of the station that closed on 02.05.60. The box closed when the MML MAS scheme was switched on in 1981 with control moving the West Hampstead PSB.
