Sellafield signal box (Furness, 1918)
Sellafield signal box (Furness, 1918) With both the trains seen in the previous photographs having departed all has gone quiet at Sellafield and the signalman has returned to his seat having completed the train register. Apart from passenger workings every hour or so the other work that the signalman has is when a flask train arrives or departs from the adjacent reprocessing plant. The box at Sellafield was built by the Furness Railway in 1918. Whilst it's a functional affair it does look a little odd without its chimney stack. The surviving water column on the platform end is an interesting survivor. It was supplied by water from the large stone-built water tower seen to the extreme right beyond the bridge.
