The rear of Bury's South signal box is seen from the passing train complete with a collection of S & T equipment scattered about on the ground. This is the original 1910 Lancashire and Yorkshire box in its as-built location that was closed by BR in 1980. The ELR re-opened the box in 2004 with a hybrid frame created from Wigan S & T store (fifty levers) and Hadfield (fifteen levers). The box controls all the sidings and lines to the south of Bury station and access to the line that leads up to the heritage line's convergence with NR metals at Hopwood ground frame.
