Located on the Midland route at the western end of the Hope Valley line through the Pennines is New Mills. To the east of the town, the route splits with one line heading through Disley tunnel towards Stockport and the other heading directly to Piccadilly via Reddish North. At the junction, where the two lines split, is this former Midland box dating from 1903. It has had the uPVC treatment but still retains its balcony and its unmistakable Midland Railway appearance. It sits in commanding position high above the valley of the River Goyt.
