Barrow Road Crossing signal box (RSCo, 1885)
Barrow Road Crossing signal box (RSCo, 1885) What a superb scene! Barrow Road signal box was built by the RSCo (Railway Signalling Company) for the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway in 1885. The line to the right led off to Barton-on-Humber with the one in the foreground leading on to New Holland Pier. In the background, just below the bracket signal, is the new and yet to open New Holland station built to replace New Holland Town that is located a short distance behind where I am standing. Town station closed less than a week after this phograph was taken with the opening of the Humber Bridge and the consequential closure of the Humber ferry service.
