Granite & bronze sculpture by Deb Sleeman, launched Oct 2011. It represents the detritus of human settlement in the Semaphore area - aboriginal artifacts, ship figureheads, fishing net, railway engine, amusement park clowns & ferris wheel, football logo, plants, seeds, birds, bottles and more.
This War Memorial is made of granite and is topped by a marble angel known locally as the Semaphore Angel. It is to remember all those who fell in the Great War between 1914 -1919. It is also in memory for all those who served all over the world which include Borneo, Korea and Malaysia, Vietnam, South East Asia and the United Nations Operations.
The angel holds a leaf, like a palm leaf, that may be clue to which angel the statue represents.

This was a find. My father spotted it when I was staring in the building's windows. This is the only active line semaphore signal I have found, although I have not searched every line to find out ;). Semaphore signals are unused now and were replaced by shoo-fly block signals.
The coastal resort of Blackpool, home to both North and South stations, still hosts a lovely selection of semaphore signals. This is the view looking out of Blackpool North. There is another 2 signal bracket out of shot to the left.
All of these wonderful relicts are due for replacement when the line is electrified in the coming years.
