Vitriol Works signal box - 12th June 2019

Vitriol Works is an out of the way post, most often glimpsed as you speed by on the way to Rochdale or Manchester Victoria.

 

I think this design is actually quite attractive considering its basic build. The box is a BR LMR type 14 design fitted and opened in April 1954.

 

The signal box unusually still carries a BR London Midland Region maroon nameplate.
