The small but perfectly formed LNWR box at Careton Crossing in the suburbs of Blackpool. The Type 5 box was built in 1924 replacing a 1912 built L&Y standard design signal box located diagonally across the level crossing behind where I am standing. When the line into Blackpool is electrified in the next year or two this box will close along wth all the others on the short seventeen-mile section of track from Preston.
