Rhyl No. 1 signal box (LNW, 1900)
Rhyl No. 1 signal box (LNW, 1900) Photographs of Rhyl Number 1 signal box were always tricky to secure due to its location off the end of the station on the up side of the tracks. Utilising my 135mm telephoto lens the 1900-built Type 4 is seen from the station footbridge. In 1990 the box was renamed Rhyl following the closure of Number 2 box at the western end of the station. Unfortunately, I failed to capture in this photograph the superb eight-doll LMS gantry that is just out of view to the right. Notice the line of parked up (it is a Sunday after all) Leyland FG flatbed coal trucks in the adjacent coal merchants. Keywords: Rhyl No. 1 signal box L&NWR
