The delightful Totley Tunnel East signal box is pictured nestling in the cutting just below the footbridge that I am standing on. Despite the 1893 Midland Railway structure being modernised in 2006 it still retains a lot of its original character. The UPVC cladding is looking in need of a clean but if that is all the maintenance that it needs then I suppose maintenance costs will be a lot lower. The wooden nameboard looks to be the genuine article as do the finials atop the hipped slate roof.
