Rhyl No. 2 signal box (LNW, 1900)
Rhyl No. 2 signal box (LNW, 1900) The grand Rhyl Number 2 signal box was (and still is as it still stands) a L&NWR Type 4 structure dating from 1900. It replaced an earlier box when the railway along the North Wales coast was expanded with it largely quadrupled along its entire length. The box still stands as it is Grade II listed but during my last visit I found it boarded up and festooned with ivy having been closed in March 1990 with control moving to Number 1 box. Also of interest is the restricted height latticed bracket signal to the left of the photograph. This carries a circular banner repeater for the up fast line operated by Number 1 box located at the other end of the station behind me. Keywords: Rhyl No. 2 signal box L&NWR
