Evercreech New box

Evercreech New box was situated on the up platform and was basically a L&SW Type 4 box, but on the S & D (Type 3) these had gabled ends instead of hipped roofs, probably to reduce costs. It contained a 20 lever Stevens Tappet frame and opened on 11th January 1920, replacing an earlier S & D box that had been destroyed by fire in October 1918. The stone base may have been from the original structure. The box closed before the line itself on 11th October 1964, following closure of the goods facilities. Note the L&SW roof ventilator and fine platform lamp.
