Brocklesby Junction signal box (GC, 1912)
Brocklesby Junction signal box (GC, 1912) The sight of a signal box located on a platform of a station is not a particularly common occurrence. Brocklesby Junction box is also rather squat which I suspect is due to sighting issues created by the B1211 road bridge directly to the west of the station as seen to the extreme left of the photograph. The box is a Great Central structure dating from 1912 located close to what was the far north eastern extremity of their network. The box closed in December 2015 but still stands, if boarded up, as it is a Grade II listed structure. Incidentally, the station is also closed but some years earlier than the box back in October 1993. Keywords: Brocklesby Junction signal box GC 1912 Great Central Railway
