Black Bank signal box (GE, 1883)
Black Bank signal box (GE, 1883) Black Bank is a remote hamlet amongst many others in the Fens between Ely and March. Even more surprising was that it once boasted a station that was closed on 17.06.63 and a small good's facility with a shed that still stands. The Great Eastern signal box seen here dates from 1883 and stood on the Ely side of the level crossing that it also controlled. When it was closed in 1988 the top was removed by a local resident with the help of a small team and some primitive machinery and moved to his garden. I am not sure if it still exists.
