View of the replacement signal box which was larger than original to accommodate the extra points and signalling. The box is obviously only just commissioned as indicated by the timber planks lying on top of the yet to be filled coal bunker. Whereas the toilet on the original was a small extension outside of the door to the signal box this newer box had its toilet under the cabin in the machine room as is evidenced by the soil stack rising behind the doorway circa 1936.
