King’s Lynn Junction signal box was once a busy place

to work controlling a complex network of lines as well as the level crossing with Tennyson Road where the line ran into the station, the busy yard and shed. In quieter times with just the Derham line open as far as Middleton Towers (freight only) and fewer trains operating on the lines south to Cambridge the Great Eastern box dating from c.1880 is seen complete with its wooden nameboard. The unusually robust brick footbridge can just be seen that gave pedestrians a chance to cross the line when the gates were shut on the busy level crossing. This footbridge was removed when the electrification wires were installed with the box still extant at the time of writing in 2023.
