The rather utilitarian structure that is Morpeth signal box is seen from the rear. It is located just north of the station at the point where the complex of freight-only lines to Blyth and Ashington diverge from the ECML. Indeed, the southern link to these lines is seen crossing the road in the foreground with the BR built 1978 box behind. The overhead electrification wiring of the ECML is seen behind the box.
