Maryport Station signal box (LMS, 1933)
Maryport Station signal box (LMS, 1933) There was once a very grand station at Maryport that was built to serve the many Edwardian visitors who flocked to the quaint little seaside town on the Cumbrian coast. Today nothing remains of this station with just a meagre single platform and a waiting shelter. However, the rather grand LMS signal box remains that dates from 1933. The box has been 'modernised' with cladding, UPVC windows and modern steel steps that support a personal needs facility. I do just wonder if the nameboard is the original. If so it should be white writing on a red background, thoughts anybody? Keywords: Maryport Station signal box LMS
