Pitsford and Brampton Signal Box

 

Inside the P&B Signal Box P&B Signal Box was transported from its original location at Little Bowden Level Crossing some years ago. Once the new foundations were in place the top section was rolled into position, jacked up to the correct height and the brick base then built underneath it.

The locking mechanism This mechanism is just below the signalman's feet. At the top is the locking that stops wrong movements being made by the signalman. Just below the movement is translated into rods and cables, and out under the platform to the points and signals.
