The first of four signal boxes within a very short distance of each other in the northern part of the Teeside town of Stockton-on-Tees. Norton-on-Tees signal box is another of the North Eastern Railway’s taller boxes that, in this case, was constructed in 1897. It controls a level crossing on a quiet road leading to a new housing estate and some farms. The pub, directly across the road from the box is named The Norton and on its front wall hangs a pub sign showing the signal box in all its full glory!
