Denton Village Crossing.

Denton Village Crossing in April 2009.

 

The small stone bothy (seen in the previous picture) has recently been demolished, replaced by a green portakabin type structure. The tall up home signal has a similar post to Low Row’s up home signal, a welded steel frame stem surmounted by a tubular post. The down home is on a stout square profile wooden post.

 

The gates were normally closed to road traffic with the signals being permanently off except of course when the crossing was in use by road traffic.

 

Where the tracks disappear on the left of the picture, a light green modular structure can just be seen that houses control equipment at Upper Denton Crossing. The small white arm protruding from behind it is the crossing's half barrier boom.
