New Holland Town signal box (RSCo, 188X) 
 I must have been rather excited about New Holland Town signal box as I took a number of photographs of it some from similar angles during this visit a week before its closure. However, when the subject is such a fine example of a Railway Signalling Company (RSCo) box built for the Great Central Railway I am glad that I did! I suspect that it will have dated from around 1885, the same date that the nearby and identical Barrow Road box was opened. The cars in the car park behind the box date the photograph well with a Toyota Crown and an instantly recognisable Volvo 240 estate.
