Back in 1981, when this photograph was taken, this signal

and post was a remarkable survivor however the fact that it is still extant today in 2023 is even more so! The Ketton down section signal is a wooden lower quadrant arm on a wooden post topped off with a fine finial. It was probably installed when the box was opened by the Midland in 1900. Its survival today is even more extraordinary as all the other semaphores controlled by Ketton have been replaced but colour lights leaving this antique piece of infrastructure the only piece of mechanics in operation!
