Maghull Signal Box
A Liverpool bound service passes Maghull signal box circa 1990/91.
The box at Maghull was a S&F type 7 box built in 1875 & originally fitted with a 19 lever S&F frame.
The S&F frame was removed & Maghull box was refitted with a 28 lever L&Y frame in 1909 in connection with the electrification works.
The gated crossing was replaced in July 1977 by the BR(WR) type barriers seen here.
Around the time this photo was taken Maghull was a class"B" signal box serving as a block post with a trailing crossover.
Maghull at this time worked AB (Absolute Block) to Town Green in the Ormskirk direction & AB to Walton Junction in the Liverpool direction as well as supervising the adjacent level crossing.
Maghull signal box was closed & abolished (along with the boxes at Town Green & Walton Junction) in February 1994 under stage one of the Merseyrail northern lines resignalling with control of the level crossing passing over to Merseyrail IECC at Sandhills.
