Manea Signal Box

Manea Signal Box appears to be slowly sinking backwards into the Fens in this 1981 picture. Opened in 1883 the structure was a GE Type 3 design supplied by Signalling Engineers McKenzie and Holland of Worcester, having a distinctive window pattern, decorative bargeboards, ridge tiles and finials. With the advance of power signalling, the box became the fringe box to Cambridge PSB in May 1992. Note the steps and landing are made out of Dexion, probably as a result of subsidence and decay.
