Littleworth signal box (GN, 1875)
Littleworth signal box (GN, 1875) Littleworth signal box and its associated gates look superb in the morning sunshine with the former station (closed 15.06.64) seen in the background. The Great Northern box opened in 1875 and was of their standard and ornate design at the time that I cannot help but feel would have made them relatively expensive to construct. The box was subject to the early replacement of its windows with upvc units already installed but the mechanical gates survived until the mid 1990s. At the time of writing the box still stands following its closure in 2014 and appears, according to recent observations, to be in receipt of some upkeep. However, with the access steps removed this work is made a little more complicated! Keywords: Littleworth signal box
