Exeter Riverside signal box (GW 1943, ex. Hatherley Junction, 1906) A signal box that was always very difficult to get a photograph of was Exeter Riverside being in the middle of the yard of the same name. The yard was hastily constructed during World War Two to assist with the war effort with the box to control its movements built in 1943. It was second hand being moved from Hatherley Junction in Cheltenham with an austere wartime structure built there that, at the time of writing, is still standing but in a very sorry state. By the time this photograph was taken Riverside box was not routinely manned as it only controlled access in and out of the yard and within it. The yard is being used for the storage of a huge array of wagons and brake vans many of which were probably destined for the scrap man. Notice the unidentified Class 47 stabled to the left.
