Quite how Graham and I had the gall to wander into Brent Yard and take photographs such as this is beyond me! However, we did seem to walk about the yard with impunity for the next few hours. Against a glorious November sky, the superb Brent Yard no. 1 signal box is viewed looking in virtually original condition with its finials and its twin stove pipes. Notice the pile of coal and the shovel under the steps ready to keep the fires burning inside the box during these chilly winter shifts. I can find out precious little about this box apart from it being of obvious Midland construction dating from 1892. If anybody can furnish me with any other information I would be grateful.
