Overlooked by the one hundred and eight-foot-long Westbury White Horse (or Bratton Horse depending upon where you come from!) the 1933 GW Type 28B Heywood Road Junction signal box just catches the final vestiges of the evening light. The signalman was very accomodating to Graham and I allowing us to take this photograph and the one of the light engine approaching from the west as in the next image. The box opened in 01.01.33 together with the Westbury avoiding line and its matching twin Fairwood Junction at the western end of the avoider some 2.3 miles away.
