Description
2013. Heritage assessment.
Built on the down side of the line opposite the up platform of Harlow Mill Station for the 1960s electrification of the line and signalling, this signal box is brick built and mainly single storey with a flat roof. Centrally the operating room forms a second storey with glass windows along three sides for visibility of the line and again a flat roof. It is now not staffed but contains equipment following the centralisation of signalling operations. This signal box represents a major period of development in the operation of the line. <1>
