Edge Hill PSB 080917
The somewhat functional structure of Edge Hill Power box taken on 8th September 2017. The box was built in 1961 but now contains a much later 'NX' panel. The BR(M) maroon enamel sign dates from the 1960s. Edge Hill box is scheduled for closure in 2018 under the Liverpool South resignalling scheme. Several of these boxes were built in the 1960s to the same style, Weaver Jn and Manchester Victoria East to name another two. They were designed to have the top operating floor removed and be used as a remote interlocking controlled from elsewhere. To date, only Weaver Jn was re-controlled, into the LNWR box at Winsford!!
