Stow signal box (GE, c.1881)
Stow signal box (GE, c.1881) Wearing its shortened name of Stow the correct and full name of this Great Eastern c.1881 box should be Stow Bardolph located between Magdalen Road and Downham Market. The box was a crossing box on a very quiet road to the village of Stow Bridge. It closed in 1992 when the crossing was automated. Notice the unequal size of the roof with the front pitch having a deep overhang whilst the rear one does not; I wonder what the reason for this design was.
