Wylye signal box (GW, date unknown)
Wylye signal box (GW, date unknown) Utilising the headlights of UVJ 129J (The Austin 1100) to illuminate the front Wylye signal box is seen. The box was of a similar design to Codford a short distance northwest from here being a GWR design dating from sometime between 1889 and 1896. The station at Wylye closed in September 1955 with the box seen here managing another seven months being closed with the expansion of the Salisbury panel on 29.03.82. Unfortunately, I never revisited this delightfully rural location despite it also being relatively close to my home. Also, I regret that Graham and I missed the intermediate box between here and Codford during our evening survey of the line, the closed Sherington Crossing box. I am pretty sure that despite it being closed that the Type 13 wartime ARP box was still standing in 1981. Keywords: Wylye signal box GWR GReat Western Railway
