Mostyn signal box (LNW, 1902)
Mostyn signal box (LNW, 1902) When the North Wales coastal route was largely quadrupled by the L&NWR there was plenty of room along much of its length. However, there were some tight spots such as here at Mostyn where there was a busy harbour and a number of sidings that serviced it. The running lines had to be closer together so the LNWR had to construct a narrower than normal signal box that required a cantilevered operating floor. Back in 1981 the box was still very much in use with a footbridge (now removed) crossing the lines behind in this view with the closed station and goods shed further beyond that. To take this photograph I was standing on a level crossing that afforded access to the harbour. Keywords: Mostyn signal box LNWR London & North Western Railway
