Maryport Station signal box (LMS, 1933)
Maryport Station signal box (LMS, 1933) The second box along the Cumbrian coast route from Carlise is Maryport. The box is a rather grand LMS structure dating from 1933. Today, I suspect that there are more white levers in the box than of any other colour with it controlling very little compared with what it did in the past. When I photographed the box back in 1984 it looked very different to this with no ugly UPVC panelling disfiguring it. Like Wigton station a little earlier, Maryport station was once a very grand affair with a large station building and overall roof in keeping with the large numbers of Victorians and Edwardians that visited the seaside resort for their holidays.
