Annesley Junction Signal Box Track Diagram

I visited this box on 21 October 1965. I visited 2 boxes that day, see my "boxes visited" log

I didn't take any photos of the box.

 

An early external photo of the box can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/51608478962/in/album-... It is from the "Picture the Past" web site.

 

There's a great photo taken by David K. Dykes here www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/51609957384/in/album-...

 

Another great photo taken by David K. Dykes is from the top of the box steps as 4472 "Flying Scotsman" passes on 18 April 1964 with the MLS/SLS "Great Central" railtour from Manchester (Central) to Marylebone. www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/51609957419/in/album-...

The train had earlier passed through Skegby station where Syd Hancock took a superb photo, seen here on Syd's flickr site

The way I had drawn the no. 21 trap points was wrong as can be seen in this photo, taken after the box closed www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/51610182635/in/album-...

I'm not sure why I drew some trap points in the style shown on this diagram. However, so long as the throw off is in the correct direction (clearly no. 21 is shown incorrectly) I generally won't mention them again.

There's a photo of a later dated original track diagram on David Blower's flickr site here www.flickr.com/photos/90214143@N04/49775079147/in/photoli...

The quite accurate location of the box was 452093 (Easting) 353798 (Northing), seen here on the NLS maps maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=53....
