Green Lane Crossing signal box (GW, c. 1925)
Green Lane Crossing signal box (GW, c. 1925) Green Lane Crossing signal box contained a twenty-one lever frame and was the first box south of Saltney Junction (Chester) on the route towards Wrexham. It also controlled the delightful mechanical crossing gates with their red warning lamps seen in this photograph. Notice that the box appears to have some structural problems with some rather crude repairs to the masonry having been undertaken. The box is an example of the later and more economical design used by the GWR with a much simpler gabled roof. The box was shut in 1986 when the route was singled with control of the crossing coming under the auspices of Chester PSB via CCTV monitoring. Keywords: Green Lane Crossing signal box (GW, c. 1925)
