Cambridge Coldham Lane Junction signal box (LNER, 1896)
Cambridge Coldham Lane Junction signal box (LNER, 1896) The impressive and substantial LNER Cambridge Coldham Lane Junction signal box dating from 1896 is seen to the north of Cambridge station and the associated sidings. As can be seen, it was extended when a new one-hundred-and-one lever frame was installed in 1959. The box still wears its large relief wooden nameboard (on this, the northern end of the box at least). Notice the huge mound of coal at the bottom of steps no doubt to service the needs of the signalmen over the coming months. The box was to close less than a year after this photograph was taken.
