There is no doubting where this photograph is taken! With the Middlesborough transporter bridge dominating the background, Cargo Fleet Road signal box is seen at the level crossing with the road of the same name passing from left to right. The box is an earlier NER example with some more ornate features particularly noticeable is the rather elegant timber work on the gable end. Whilst the box was demolished in 1990 there is still a level crossing at this location but it is for pedestrians and cyclists permitting access to Middlesborough town centre. The view of the transporter bridge is now blocked from this angle by a large building occupied by a building company.
