Haltwhistle Signal box and station
Haltwhistle box, opened around 1915 consists of a timber top mounted on a narrow brick base.
The narrow base was to allow the box to fit in the limited space available. The join between the narrow and wide portions is neatened by curved timber panelling, through which the point rodding and signal wires emerge to reach ground level.
The signal box (along with those at Wylam and Hexham) is listed ensuring that it should survive, perhaps one day looking over narrow gauge trains arriving from Alston on the South Tynedale Railway.
