Postland signal box looks to be in superb condition on this warm and pleasant sunny August Sunday afternoon back in 1981. Whilst the box still stands today, it is not in quite such a good way in fact it is almost hidden behind a cloak of ivy with the roof falling in, see….. https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30044473949/x15-former-postland-signal-box-gn . The ornate box with its characteristic sculptured barge boarding was (is!) a Great Northern design built in 1882. To take this photograph, including the superb crossing gates with their oil lamps, I was standing on the down platform of the former station that itself was closed in 1961. Fenland Tractors, seen behind the box, is still in operation today and indeed, a Google search for them reveals the rear of the box on the search page.
