Rather shaded from the strong August afternoon sunshine Church Stretton signal box is seen on the platform end. Another lovely example of a LNW & GW joint box dating, as per a number of the others, from 1872. This box was permanently switched out of circuit in 2003. It sat empty, unused and deteriorating until it was dismantled in the spring of 2009 and rebuilt in a nearby park but I have yet to see any further information or images of this.
