Opposite Croesnewydd North Fork signal box (Wrexham) where these fine

pair of GWR antiquities. First is the GWR backing signal with its associated route indicator. This permitted access to sidings to the south of the level crossing on which I am standing. These quirky signals were another type of signal used, primarily by the GWR, to help with special movements. Backing signals were placed to authorise wrong line running at stations or junctions with caution if a ground or subsidiary signal did not cover the movement. The second thing of interest in the photograph is the converted gas lamp. I am not sure of the lamp's origins but it would have been one of possibly three others located on the level crossing where Watery Road crosses the line south of Wrexham station that can be seen in the distance with a DMU in a platform.
