The signal box suffered a fire on the night of 1 January 1977. This initially started in the mains electricity switch-gear under the staircase; the staircase and surrounding floorboards were well alight before the fire brigade arrived. Structural damage was mainly confined to the south end of the box, but smoke and water damage was caused to much of the equipment. The burnt woodwork had been replaced by mid-February, and the burnt wiring replaced on a "make do and mend" basis in time for the 1977 running season<ref>SVR news 43</ref>. Further work was done to the box as part of a major re-laying of track at Bridgnorth which began at the end of 1977<ref>SVR News 46</ref> and was completed in autumn 1978<ref>SVR News 49</ref>.
All signals at Bridgnorth are of late GWR/BR(W) steel tubular post and enamel arm design.
