The closed Fossway Crossing signal box located by the Up Walsall line alongside Fosseway Lane level crossing to the south west of Lichfield. Friday 21st December 1990
Fossway Crossing signal box was a London & North Western Railway Company type 3 design that opened in 1875. A replacement 10 lever London & North Western Railway Company Tumbler frame was installed in 1890. The signal box closed on 16th December 1973 when it replaced by an automatic half-barrier level crossing supervised by Lichfield City signal box, the absolute block section being extended to between Anglesea Sidings and Lichfield City signal boxes. After the signal box closed the lever frame was removed and the signal box was retained for use as crossing keeper's accommodation when the level crossing was on local control until line was taken out of use
As for the location's name. The signal box is listed as being named Fossway Road Crossing signal box in sectional appendices between March 1937 and June 1969. The next sectional appendix published in October 1972 listed the signal box as being named Fossway Crossing. The next sectional appendix was published in February 1975 after the signal box had closed and listed the level crossing as being named Fosseway Level Crossing

This shopping center was built in 1980 as Crossroads Shopping Center.
Tredington Crossing is located between Cheltenham and Ashchurch. The crossing keeper's lodge dates from the opening of the line by the Birmingham & Gloucester Railway in 1840. It may have originally been a single storey building with the second storey added at a later date. The design is clearly derived from a roadside tollhouse and all the original windows were narrow and situated on the railway side of the building only - a result of the unpopular window tax which was not repealed until 1851. Unfortunately the narrow, paired windows on the top floor have been replaced by larger modern units.
When this picture was taken on 8th August 1989 the crossing was in the process of being automated and the building had been vacated prior to demolition, which occurred the following year.
A similar crossing lodge survives at nearby Brockhampton and another of very similar design but built by the Bristol & Gloucester Railway can be found at Oldends Lane Crossing, Stonehouse.

A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, resembling the coat of a zebra. A zebra crossing typically gives priority to pedestrians.
Zebra crossings were originally introduced in law by section 18 of the Road Traffic Act 1934.
Although the origin of the name is disputed, it is generally attributed to British MP James Callaghan who, in 1948, visited the country's Transport Research Laboratory which was working on a new idea for safe pedestrian crossings. On being shown a black and white design, Callaghan is said to have remarked that it resembled a zebra.
After isolated experiments, the zebra crossing was first used at 1,000 sites in the United Kingdom in 1949 in its original form of alternating strips of blue and yellow. They were introduced nationally in 1951.
In 1971, the Green Cross Code was introduced to teach children safer crossing habits, replacing the earlier "kerb drill".
A herd of Holstein-Friesian cows crossing a road at a dairy farm on the Point Reyes Peninsula in Marin County, California. No traffic monitor......the seemingly endless stream of cows simply cross the road at will....cars proceed with caution.
Point Reyes on the coast of Marin County in Northern California is a 100-square-mile peninsula of dark forests, wind-sculpted dunes, endless beaches and plunging sea cliffs. In the area east of Tomales Bay are located a number of old dairy farms that were established in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. In 1846, after California had attained statehood, the entire peninsula was divided into more than 30 tenant dairy ranches. That legacy is still evident today from the 15 remaining historic working ranches in the park's 'Pastoral Zone'. Most of the original dairy ranches were named utilizing the letters of the alphabet while some were bequeathed more poetic names like 'Drake's Head', 'Muddy Hollow', 'Oporto' and 'Sunnyside'.

Diagonal crossing. Isn't this smart?
The Second Severn Crossing (Welsh: Ail Groesfan Hafren) is a bridge which carries the M4 motorway over the River Severn between England and Wales, inaugurated on 5 June 1996 by Charles, Prince of Wales to augment the traffic capacity of the original Severn Bridge built in 1966. The bridge marks the lower limit of the River Severn and the start of the Severn Estuary.
The Shoots channel is the deepest section along the width of the Severn estuary, and a longer span was required to ease the passage of shipping under this section. The central bridge section, called the Shoots Bridge, is of cable-stayed design and the central span (between the bridge pylons) is 456 m (1,500 ft) in length. The approach viaducts are of a segmental bridge design. Its Welsh end is near Sudbrook, Monmouthshire and its English end at Severn Beach in South Gloucestershire. The crossing forms a gentle S shape and near the English side crosses over the top of the Severn railway tunnel.
The sides of the bridge are fitted with special railings to reduce lateral wind loads coming from the Severn estuary onto the traffic and this has reduced the number of times that speed restrictions have been needed. The overall design of the new crossing makes it more resistant to high winds than the old Severn Bridge.
The newest crossing over the Clyde opened on Friday 15th May and already has been nicknamed "The Squiggly Bridge"
Much of the world has similar, but distinctively different, signs for road crossings. So, I want to build a collection of them.
I currently have the following taken by myself:
France + France (2),
Hungary + Hungary (2) + Hungary (3),
Kosovo + Kosovo (2),
Plus some unofficial variations:
I also know of the following others on Flickr:
Help me find a complete set. Please comment or message me if you know of others!
Well, I'm not crossing over the railway line from this point as that would be more than dangerous! Just looking along the railway line towards Prestwick Railway Station and the pedestrian crossing!

Abbey Road Zebra Crossing; from the other side, looking south.
"The Abbey Road zebra crossing in north London - made famous after appearing on a Beatles album cover - has been given Grade II listed status.
The crossing - the first of its kind to be listed - is being recognised for its "cultural and historical importance" following advice from English Heritage.
The Beatles were photographed on Abbey Road in Ian Macmillan's iconic cover shot for the 1969 album Abbey Road.
Sir Paul McCartney said it was the "icing on the cake" in a great year.
The original zebra crossing, where the photograph was taken, was moved several metres for traffic management reasons more than 30 years ago, and no original features remain.
A spokesman for Westminster City Council said: "The detail of exactly when and why the crossing was moved from its original location have been lost in the annals of time.
"But by comparing photographs with the Ordnance Survey maps, we believe that the crossing might have been further north nearer 3 Abbey Road, which was the front house of the EMI Studios, because the steps of Neville Court appear to the right of the crossing in original photographs of the crossing, whereas the present crossing is near the junction of Abbey Road and Grove End Road."
But John Penrose, Minister for Tourism and Heritage, said: "This London zebra crossing is no castle or cathedral but, thanks to the Beatles and a 10-minute photo-shoot one August morning in 1969, it has just as strong a claim as any to be seen as part of our heritage."
Roger Bowdler, head of designation at English Heritage, said: "This is obviously an unusual case and, although a modest structure, the crossing has international renown and continues to possess huge cultural pull - the temptation to recreate that iconic 1969 album cover remains as strong as ever.
"Together with the nearby Abbey Road studios, also listed at Grade II on our advice, they remain a Mecca for Beatles fans the world over."
Sir Paul said: "It's been a great year for me and a great year for the Beatles and hearing that the Abbey Road crossing is to be preserved is the icing on the cake."
The crossing is outside the Abbey Road studios, where the Beatles recorded much of their output.
That building was granted Grade II listed status in February.
A Grade II listing, the most common protected status, means that a building or monument is recognised as nationally important and of special interest."

In rural areas, cows take precedence over people. The cars will just have to wait as a dairy herd heads to the barn (with little human guidance).
Restored to its former glory complete with the usual selection of enamel signs. This little signal cabin if I have my facts right once stood in Gloucester Horton Road Depot Yard and went by the name of 'Mileage Yard Signal Box'. It has been brought here to the DFR and restored as a crossing box beside Norchard Low Level station.
