| Description |
Church Stretton signal box located by the Down Main line a short distance north of Church Stretton station. Wednesday 2nd April 2008 Church Stretton signal box was a London and North Western/Great Western Joint Type 1 design which opened circa.1872 with a replacement 25 lever London and North Western Railway Tumbler frame installed in July 1901. Additional Great Western Railway 5-bar tappet locking was added beneath the original bar and stud locking in 1941, perhaps in connection with the 53 wagon capacity lie-by siding on the down side being converted into a down goods loop. As traffic levels fell the down goods loop was removed (sometime between June 1988 and August 1991) and by the start of the 1990s the signal box was switched out of circuit. The signal box was brought back in use by 1996, the up lie-by siding was removed (sometime between February 1995 and October 1999) but the signal box was permenantly switched out of circuit on 29th March 2003. The signals were removed and the crossover clipped out of use on 19th January 2004 and the absolute block section was extended to between Dorrington and Marsh Brook signal boxes but the signal box was never officially abolished. The signal box was dismantled on 14th-29th March 2009 and moved into safe storage with the Strettons Railway Society planning to move it into the recreation ground behind its original location The nameplate appears to be a modern, but very nice replacement for a previous nameboard which was probably a wooden board with letter screwed onto it in London and North Western Railway style In the six-foot is a disc-less British Railways Western Region disc shunting signal for down to up movements through the main crossover |
