Selside signal box (Mid, 1907) re-erected 1976 What a sad state of affairs. This diminutive 1907 Midland box was rescued from Selside, located between Blea Moor and Horton-in-Ribblesdale boxes in the early 1970s when BR extended the block section. It spent some time languishing at what was then to become Steamtown eventually being superbly restored to become the yard's operational signal box. However, since Steamtown closed and WCR took over operations it has been unused and is now in a parlous state. I am so disappointed with how WCR fails to look after their historic assets. I know that they are a commercial TOC but, nonetheless, they do have a responsibility; don't they? Keywords: Selside signal box Midland re-erected 1976
