Potterhanworth signal box (GN, 1883)
Potterhanworth signal box (GN, 1883) The delightfully named Potterhanworth signal box looks absolutely superb in the afternoon sunshine. The Great Northern always made a great deal of effort with the details of their boxes when they were constructed and this 1883 example was no exception. The ornate wooden gable end detailing is superb especially the way that it seamlessly blends into the finials. This Type 1 box is the second at this location with the first one only being a year older but that was destroyed by a storm. The thirty-two lever Saxby & Farmer frame was rescued from the debris and reused in this box. Keywords: Potterhanworth signal box Great Northern Railway GNR
