My final picture of the day before heading back to our campsite next to the ECML at Essendine is a rear view of the Great Northern Spalding Number 2 signal box catching the evening sunshine. Framed by the latticed Steppingstone footbridge the box wears a pair of, what I believe to be, LNER blue enamels above the door identified by the font but I stand to be corrected. The box survived for a further three years before considerable rationalisation took place in Spalding with all control moving to Number 1 box located at the town’s busy level crossing.
