Wansford Signal Box is just outside Wansford Station. It was built in 1907 by the London & North Western Railway and is one of the largest preserved signal box in its original location.
The signal box and the railway are part of the Nene Valley Railway who where hosting their Annual Autumn Steam Gala while I was there. In my photograph you may have noticed LNER A4 Gresley Pacific 4-6-2 No.60009 Union Of South Africa running tender first around the loop before the locomotive begins her duties for the day.
I captured this image with my Panasonic G7 on the 16th September 2017.

A commentary on gender issues, the Box Project is meant to reflect a woman's feelings of insecurity regarding her body under the scrutiny of a sexually-charged world. The world I live in, the world of twenty-somethings and college parties, has caused me to want to hide my body at times, a body that I am normally very comfortable in and proud of. The models portrayed are passive, so as to let the box speak for itself, and are placed in both public and private places, a nod to the idea that we should feel safe and at home in our bodies no matter where we are.

"Portsmouth Harbour signal box with its Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co. Ltd. Style 'L' Power Lever Frame was opened by the Southern Railway on the 1st June 1946. It was built to the Southern Railway Type 13 design and was fitted with a 47 lever Westinghouse 'L' frame (which was part of a 143 lever frame (frame number 93) purchased by the Southern Railway as a standby frame in case of war damage). 47 of the 143 Standby frame levers were utilised in 1946 after the station and layout were rebuilt due to war damage.
It replaced two boxes, Portsmouth Harbour signal box which was destroyed by aerial bombing in 1941 but was not officially closed and Portsmouth Harbour signal box, a temporary box opened on 21st August 1941 to replace the bomb damaged box.
Portsmouth Harbour signal box was closed on 21st April 1968 and was used an office and a relay room for Portsmouth power signal box. After closure the lever frame was moved to the school of signalling at Clapham Junction. The building was retained as a relay room for the 1968 Portsmouth NX signalling scheme which was operational until December 2006"

The signal box briefly re-opened with hand signalling following serious problems with the 2006 Portsmouth re-signalling scheme. The Signal box closed for the second time at the end of 2007 when Havant ASC was eventually commissioned.
"Boxes in a Box
we live in boxes
we travel by them
we stare at boxes
all day,
we fight for boxes of lands and apartments
we steal from others to buy new boxes
we eat out of boxes and buy clothes in boxes
we wear shoes from boxes and
all these boxes never satisfy us
we always want more boxes! ! !
we live in boxes, we die in them
and they put us in boxes of wet earth,
after burial."

This is a "pill box" on Aberdeen beach, left behind from the Second World War. Soldiers would keep a watch out for the invaders. Over the years the boxes have moved... further along the beach, some are still in the dunes, on the grass. Most are at funny angles. This is the fourth or fifth one to the North from the River Don. At low-tide, more are visible, as well as concrete blocks to hinder any landing tanks.
This photo has been converted to b/w, the contrast and brightness increased significantly and then coloured adding a bit of red, half the amount of green and subtracting the green amount from the blue to give an extreme sepia look.
The box on the bottom is the one it arrived in. The blue box is the one it was wrapped in, and the bit on top is the actual gift. It's a way cool cutting board from Anna and family for Christmas. But did it have to come in a box 20 sizes too big? :-p
Brigham City is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The population was 17,899 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Box Elder County. It lies on the western slope of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range at the western terminus of Box Elder Canyon. Brigham City saw most of its growth during the 1950s and 1960s, but has seen a struggling economy and stagnating growth since then. It is near the headquarters of ATK Thiokol, the company that created the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle.
Brigham City is known for its peaches and holds an annual celebration called Peach Days on the weekend after Labor Day. Much of Main Street is closed off to cars, and the festival is celebrated by a parade, a car show, a carnival, and other activities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) dedicated its fourteenth temple in Utah in Brigham City on 23 September 2012.
The city is the headquarters of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, a federally recognized tribe of Shoshone people.
Mormon pioneer William Davis first explored the Brigham City area in 1850. He returned with his family and others a year later to create permanent homes. Brigham Young directed Lorenzo Snow to create a self-sufficient city at the site in 1853. Snow directed both religious and political affairs in the settlement, eventually naming it Box Elder in 1855. Brigham Young gave his last public sermon there in 1877 shortly before his death, and the name of the town was changed to Brigham City after the church president. In 1864, the cooperative movement began in earnest with the creation of a mercantile co-op store and was an important element of the United Order of Enoch. Other industries were added, and the Brigham City Co-op is widely recognized as the most successful of the Mormon Co-op ventures. Economic hardships brought an end to the Co-op in 1895, though the Co-op had first started selling businesses off in 1876.
Despite layoffs over the past decade, much of Brigham City's economy relies on Thiokol, the creator of many missiles, as well as the solid rocket booster for the Space Shuttle. Additionally, the local Autoliv (formerly a part of Thiokol) airbag plants also net Brigham City many jobs. The addition of a Walmart distribution center in nearby Corinne has also brought new jobs.

Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

This box is very durable and can store heavy fitness equipment or your entire collection of dishes and kitchenware.

Knocked together from scraps. I experimented a little with joints, wooden hinges, drawer pulls. I think I will need something bigger soon.
Wall-e, like the kittens, have a thing for boxes. He also loved the new song The Pumpkins released today.
The Panacea Museum in Bedford holds what is said to be the box containing the prophecies of Joanna Southcott.
However, Harry Price, psychical "researcher" claimed to have X-rayed Joanna's box in 1927. It was made of walnut and much smaller than this one. It has since disappeared. Most likely, it was a fake and the box in Bedford is the real one. The museum has an "audit trail" of ownership on display.
Joanna Southcott (April 1750 – 27 December 1814), was a self-described religious prophetess. She was born in the English hamlet of Taleford, baptised at Ottery St Mary, and raised in the village of Gittisham, all in Devon, England.
Southcott's father was a farmer and she herself was for a considerable time a domestic servant in Exeter. She was originally of the Church of England, but about 1792 she joined the Wesleyans in Exeter, Becoming persuaded that she possessed supernatural gifts, she wrote and dictated prophecies in rhyme, and then announced herself as the Woman of the Apocalypse spoken of in a prophetic passage of the Revelation (12:1–6).
Coming to London at the request of William Sharp (1749–1824), the engraver, Southcott began selling paper "seals of the Lord" at prices varying from twelve shillings to a guinea. The seals were purported to ensure the holder's place among the 144,000 people who would be elected to eternal life.
At the age of 64 Southcott affirmed that she was pregnant and would be delivered of the new Messiah, the Shiloh of Genesis (49:10). The date of 19 October 1814 was that fixed for the birth, but Shiloh failed to appear, and it was given out that she was in a trance.
She died not long after. The official date of death is given as 27 December 1814, but it is likely that she died the previous day, as her followers retained her body for some time, in the belief that she would be raised from the dead. They agreed to its burial only after it began to decay.
I painted, crackled and aged a small wooden box and added a collaged fairy inside with some grass, along with a "Found Object" tag, key and piece of old wooden yard stick on the box.
Many of these electricity boxes have been painted, they add some colours to the otherwise grey streets of the city.
While COVID-19 makes it hazardous to approach strangers; I have decided to start on this new project of photographing electricity boxes in Helsinki.

Turn your boring tissue box into a Hannari Tofu friend. Simply pull the cover over any tissue box for instant cuteness. Decorated in cream and strawberries it will be sure to get you hungry just by looking at it. One more reason to have your favorite character around.
I'm a sucker for dent-box sales ^^; I decided a while ago I wanted a Supergirl pullip and Melissa is basically perfect for her right out of the box so I bought a second Melissa.
These boxes store our collection. They are lignin-free, acid-free, and buffered with 3% calcium carbonate. Every shelf is numbered, as are the boxes, so by checking our collections data base, we know exactly where everything is. This is what's in the "Repository" field that you can see when you search the collection. Now that we've moved things, every item in the boxes will need to be updated.
Walking around Hampstead i noticed this old wall post box there are still a few left in London that are still being used in this age of high technology. This one is probably from the Victiorian era so they are still in competition with the internet email I wonder when their day is up I can't see this model on the following link so I only guess it is Victorian. www.norvic-philatelics.co.uk/2009/images/090818_postbox_s...
I have since come back to this description and I have now noticed that at the top of this post box there is a V space R that must stand for victoria regina.
