Close examination of the pre-1935 wooden nameboard reveals that part

of it has been painted out. Until the spring of 1968 the box was named Llandudno Junction Number 2 but following track rationalisation and resignalling Number 1 box was taken out of use hence this box's revised name. The structure is a fine example of a London and North Western Railway Type 4 box dating from 1898 that was extended in 1921. The box survived for another three years from when this photgraph was taken in 1981 to be replaced by a British Railways (London Midland) Type 15 box that saw just twenty five years in service closing when the whole line was resignaled in 2018.
