Dates:

16 November 1896 - 1st box here on the opposite side of Warsop Main Colliery lines bridge.

xx-Jan 1899 - This replacement box opened, S&F 4" frame.

1 February 1983 - Box closed - resignalled and worked from Shirebrook Junction box.

 

The large number of spares was to allow for a proposed curve to cross over the Midland line and join the GN's Leen Valley Extension line heading south - which was not built.
