Helsby Junction signal box - May 2019
I was delighted when my first posting as a signalman took me away from station located boxes - which is where my first two locations were. Mainly due to when the station was unstaffed, you were the focal point of passenger enquiries....and the person for them to vent their spleen if a train was late or cancelled!
I'm pretty sure Helsby would have been the same until the staircase cage was erected....
