From the rear Drigg signal box is a little disappointing. Whilst the base is the original stone-built part of the structure, the top has been completely cloaked by UPVC with just the timber uprights remaining from the 1871 box. However, I suppose that given its location exposed on the Cumbrian Coast with everything that this will throw at it efforts to maintain origonality would be tricky and expensive. By way of contrast, the substantial former goods shed is seen on the opposite side of the line and appears to be largely as-built.
