Welland Bridge signal box (GE, 1882)
Welland Bridge signal box (GE, 1882) Welland Bridge signal box was a Great Eastern 1882 structure that was the first box from the north after the former GN & GE Joint line left the Peterborough line in Spalding. It was at the point where the line crossed the River Welland with a level crossing on either bank on London and Cowbit Roads. The box closed when the line was shut in November 1982 but fortunately, it lives on in a new form named Woodstone Wharf located at the Peterborough NV station on the Nene Valley Railway. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the houses to the left in this photograph both of which have been demolished to make way for the inevitable housing estate.
