North Ormesby Signal Box (NER, date not known)
North Ormesby Signal Box (NER, date not known) North Ormesby signal box had an unusual design that is partially visible in this photograph taken from a passing Class 101 DMU. It was located where North Ormesby Road crossed the railway at a level crossing in Middlesborough. When the A172 and A66 relief roads were constructed in the late 1980s the whole scene here was changed and the level crossing abandoned. On removal of the footbridge the odd roof shape to accommodate it was revealed. The signal box was in use until late 1990 when the new roads were opened. It is not visible here but this level crossing had a set of the electrical wheel boom level crossing gates that were unique to the north and northeast. Studying Google Earth, the remnants of the level crossing and bridge that crossed the small stream running behind the box can be clearly seen.
