50005, 12.23 London Paddington-Paignton (1B74), Blatchbridge Junction 
 The 1938 built 28-lever type 28B Blatchbridge signal box was of all timber construction and in a pretty remote spot to the south of Frome. The line into the town, that emerged on to the mainline again at Clink Road Junction, curved away to the left behind the fourth coach of the train in this image. Note that the box still retains its GWR cast sign, however, in a shot taken just over a year later this had been replaced by a BR corporate sign, I wonder where it ended up? 50005 'Collingwood' heads westwards leading the 12.23 Paddington to Paignton 1B74 train. At the time of writing in 2019, this train is now worked by a class 800 IET.
