There's a photo of a track diagram (right hand side), courtesy of the Charles Weightman and Alan Bullimore Collection, part of the excellent "Tillyweb" website. tillyweb.biz/index.htm The photo can be seen here:

A photo of an original Track Diagram is here www.flickr.com/photos/90214143@N04/50797371287/in/photoli...
Although I believe that diagram to be earlier than the one I drew, the layout is the same as when I visited.
There is a copy of the 1955 drawing here www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/52140858815/in/album-...
Also there is a final version of signalling (Owen's interpretation) - the details of the connection to the GC main may not have been shown, the notes explain its demise. www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/52140858790/in/album-...
I don't know when the box actually closed but it was reduced to Shunters Frame status in 1984.
There's a photo taken by Robin Stewart-Smith on 28 May 1985 here www.flickr.com/photos/154596801@N04/50729580687/in/photol...

The quite accurate location of the box was 458227 (Easting) 339276 (Northing), seen here on the NLS maps maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=52....
