The naming of this signal box a Carmont is a

bit of a misnomer as the hamlet and hill of this name is some distance from this spot. The gathering of farm buildings behind the box are called Newmill (or New Mill) and this was the name on the front of the box prior to 1912. The box is a brick built Caledonian structure dating from 1876 that has had some rather ugly render applied at some time in the recent past that has spoilt its traditional look. Andy and I would have loved to have spent some time at this delightfully remote spot and take some photographs of trains passing but time was pressing.
