Shepreth Branch Junction signal box (GER, 1893)
Shepreth Branch Junction signal box (GER, 1893) A classic Great Eastern Railway Type 7 box at Shepreth Junction was a superb original condition structure when photographed here in 1981. It still retains its old Eastern Region green and cream colour scheme, something it did right up until its closure in February 1983. The box was fitted with a twenty-lever McKenzie & Holland frame and controlled the junction where the Great Eastern route to King's Cross via Royston and Baldock diverged from the Liverpool Street route via Bishop's Stortford. Notice the rather austere personal needs addition to the left of the box and the large building between the two that is the world-famous Papworth and Addenbrooke's Hospital complex.
