Summary

[edit]
Description

Agecroft Junction signal box was located on the Down side of the Manchester to Clifton Junction line controlling the junction with the connecting line to Brindle Heath Junction, and was a British Railways London Midland Region Type 14 design fitted with a 65 lever Railway Executive Committee frame that opened in November 1950 replacing a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Standard design signal box on the opposite side of the line which was suffering from subsidence. The connecting line to Brindle Heath Junction was closed on 10th May 1987 and the box was closed on 9th April 1988 when signalling passed to a new panel installed in Windsor Bridge signal box

The cooling towers in the background belong to Agecroft power station which closed in March 1993
