Stonea signal box (GE, 1883)
Stonea signal box (GE, 1883) Stonea signal box looks as though it may be structurally compromised judging by this image taken showing the rear. Indeed, after giving up trying to support the structure BR capitulated and a couple of years after this photograph was taken the 1899 Great Eastern box was demolished and replaced with a Portakabin. Unfortunately for the signalmen, the gates had to be closed manually and were a good distance from the box so he had to make a dash to and from twice every time a train passed with one recounting on Facebook saying that this used to keep him fit!
