Radway Green Signal Box (NSR, C.1881)
Radway Green Signal Box (NSR, C.1881) On our long drive home in the Mini we dived off the M6 in Staffordshire and took lunch in the car park of an MOD establishment at Radway Green. This was adjacent to the Crewe to Kidsgrove line and the station that closed back in 1966 but mechanical signalling still controlled the line. As Radway Green signal box was located on the up line that ran east to west on a sunny afternoon such as this the front is in shadow! The box was a North Staffordshire Railway Company type 1 structure dating from 1881. It survived until 19.07.85 being decommissioned as part of the Crewe re-modelling with the railway town a short distance to the west. The line has since been electrified and passenger services have returned with it enjoying direct trains to London operated by London Northwestern. Keywords: Radway Green Signal Box
