Foxfield signal box (Furness, 1879)
Foxfield signal box (Furness, 1879) 
 My first visit to Foxfiled since 1979, see... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/26718012404/m56250-m50947-14-40-barrow-furness and am delighted to see that it has not changed a great deal. The BR (London Midland) enamel nameplate that used to hang above the door has gone with a replacement replica wooden one on the face of the box. The box is a Furness. Also notice that the steps have been replaced and a small personal needs facilty added to the end of the box. What is nice, however, is that this has been blended, including the slate roof, to match the rest of the box; something that does not happen very often today.
