The box closed in 1969 with the cessation of coal traffic to Alveley, and was brought back into use on 02/03/1974 with the commissioning of ETT working to Hampton Loade. Long section working to Bridgnorth was brought into use in 1975, and ETT working to Arley and Bewdley North was commissioned on 10/04/1976.
The interior was used for filming in 1974 of the atmospheric TV film [[The Signalman]], starring Denholm Elliot and closely following Dickens' work of the same title.

Note there are inaccuracies in both diagrams: the original diagram is missing the siding behind the signal box, and the S&T website diagram shows number 7 signal as a red disc, when it has been replaced by a yellow one.
==Signalling controlled from the box==
The down starting signal is a rare GWR concrete post signal, as used fairly extensively on the Cambrian Coast line, and the down fixed distant is a standard GWR wooden post design, otherwise all signals are of late GWR/BR(W) steel tubular post and enamel arm design.
