Yarmouth Vauxhall signal box (GE, 1884)
Yarmouth Vauxhall signal box (GE, 1884) The superb Yarmouth Vauxhall signal box is seen from the droplight as the 12.36 from Norwich arrives at the station. It is a magnificent Great Eastern structure dating from 1884 that has thankfully been largely spared the scourge of crass 'modernisation' in the form of an inappropriate style of UPVC windows, cladding and a tin roof! Unfortunately, the Type 4 box that boasts a sixty-three lever Saxby and Farmer frame is doomed with the heavily delayed resignalling of the Wherry lines about to render it redundant. I sincerely hope that that the bulldozer and wrecking ball will not simply wipe it away but that it is sensitively dismantled and rebuilt somewhere on a heritage line. Notice the starter bracket signal on the platform ends with its illuminated route describers silhouetted against the lovely autumn sky. Keywords: Yarmouth Vauxhall signal box Great Eastern
