What looks like a stunted semaphore is actually a full-sized one on the Little North Western line which is beyond and below the Settle Carlisle line. 8F 48151 with the Pendle Dalesman excursion to Carlisle seen just after passing Settle Junction. The view is from Cleatop Wood which, according to the Woodland Trust web site, has "good views" and is "well worth a visit" - couldn't agree more.
Looking somewhat incongruous amongst the modern paraphernalia to be found on the platforms at Bognor Regis sit this pair of double semaphores. 377104 is seen departing and in the distance beneath the right hand pair is the 1938 built and still operational signal box.
In 1999 the country junction station at St Denis pres Martel still had full mechanical signalling - I don't know if that is still the case

This semaphore in my hometown of Cuxhaven, Germany, was used to indicate direction and strength of the wind on the islands of Borkum and Helgoland to the ships entering the North Sea from the Elbe river.
Am Hafen in Cuxhaven findet sich die Alte Liebe sowie der so genannte Windsemaphor. Dieses Gerät aus dem Jahr 1884 zeigt den in die Nordsee ausfahrenden Schiffen die jeweiligen Windrichtungen und -stärken auf den Inseln Borkum und Helgoland an. Das technische Denkmal wird täglich nach den aktuellen Wettermeldungen eingestellt.

Decorative features in the Ozone Theatre (former Institute & Town Hall), restored 1993, re-opened as library 14 Feb 1994..
“the remodelling of the old institute building, in front of which two shops are to be erected. Two-dome ceilings are to be put in, and a commodious lounge and dress circle. The floor will be sloped towards the front, where there is to be a massive proscenium. . . On the ground floor the library, subscribers' and public reading rooms will be established. . . The top floor will contain a billiards-room, secretary's office, kitchen, and conveniences, the back portion being a soldiers' hall.” [Advertiser 15 Jul 1929]
“Ozone Theatres Limited . . . at the reconstructed Semaphore Hall last night were treated to four surprises. These were the wonderful transformation that has been effected in the art decoration of the interior of the hall, delightful effect of indirect lighting, general excellence of the programme, and clarity of the voice production by the talkie equipment. Other pleasing features in the new theatre are the comfortable tip seats, with ample room between the rows. . . The art decoration is in Adam and Jacobean style, with a modernistic touch. The proscenium is, indeed, a work of art, and is the original design of Mr Chris A. Smith (architect), as are window and ceiling ornamentations. . . The theatre serves a large and growing district.” [News 10 Dec 1929]

Sunlight backlights one of the semaphore signals on the Raton and Glorieta subs. During my visit, it was said there were 13 sets remaining.
The blade drops to vertical to display the "clear" indication when the cable is pulled slightly. The blade returns to horizontal (to display "stop") via the counterweight when the lever controlling this signal is returned to normal.
This signal was built from drawings and photographs found in a US&S co catalog from the turn of the century. It is part of my project to build a functioning mechanical interlocking out of lego.
An all too brief weekend to Cornwall with my wife, Jenny and the eponymous Eddi (the dog) gave me a very brief amount of time when I could inspect some of the results of the Cornwall Re-signalling project that was completed on 10 March 2024 with the new signals coming into use on Monday 11 March, I chose Par. The view captured on 16 March shows the western end of the station with GWR's 150233 arriving with 2N05, the 13.10 from Newquay that would terminate here. I have never been known for my progressive technological thinking, so I do not like the results, but it is what it is!

The train here is load 7 but in the summer would be up to load 12 with a pair of 33s usually from Hither Green. Five years earlier saw the end of Hastings DEMUs on this service.
