94-010 Robertsbridge Signal Box

Scan of a slide of the former B Box at Robertsbridge taken in 1994. I am assuming that this still stands as at the date of uploading (February 2022) but it is a long time since I've been to that neck of the woods. Some background from the internet:

 

"Robertsbridge Signalbox, on the SER main line to Hastings via Tonbridge and Wadhurst .... This station was, at one time, the junction station with the west end of the Kent & East Sussex Railway. This box is the sole survivor of the old Hastings line boxe .... Today it controls the line from north of Battle to north of Stonegate, working track circuit block with Tonbridge and Bopeep."

"As part of the mainline station complex, Robertsbridge signal box, originally Robertsbridge B has been on this site since 1894. It is still functioning until further upgrades to the network are likely to have those functions transferred."
