Exeter Middle Signal Box (GW, 1914)
Exeter Middle Signal Box (GW, 1914) With the signalman taking a breather and basking in some springtime sunshine the grand Exeter Middle signal box is seen. It is a GWR Type 31 structure dating from 1914 and contained a 95 lever frame. Notice the diminutive crossing keeper's hut to the left of the box. The crossing keeper spent his day managing Red Cow level crossing that could cause huge congestion, particularly on a busy summer Saturday. Behind the box to the far right are two vintage wagons. There is a 12 ton twin-axle fruit van next to a coach and then a clay hood that would be making its way from the china clay quarries in Cornwall. Keywords: Exeter Middle Signal Box
