Mytholmroyd West
The 64 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Comany Tappet frame in Mytholmroyd West signal box. Sunday 7th October 1984
Mytholmroyd Station was located by the Up Main line at the Yorkshire end of Mytholmroyd railway station, and was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company standard design fitted with a 64 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame that opened in 1904 replacing an 1875-built signal box. The signal box was renamed Mytholmroyd West in 1919 after an additional signal box opened named Mytholmroyd East 829 yards away. The signal box closed on 12th May 1985 along with Sowerby Bridge West signal box when the absolute block section was extended to between Milner Royd Junction and Hebden Bridge signal boxes although rising traffic levels in the 2000s necessitated the commissioning of intermediate block signals. The signal box remained in situ for a while but by mid-September 1987 the lever frame had been removed and the signal box was being demolished
