additional info and history
==Signalling controlled from the box==
The Down Home signals post, bracket and assemblies were originally the Up From Shrewsbury Inner Home signals at Bewdley North. It was originally located at the south end of [[Wribbenhall Viaduct]], somewhat further south than its modern replacement, but was removed from there on 4 January 1976 due to rot in the lower part of the post. <ref>\SVR News 40</ref> These are wooden post GWR design signals as is the Up distant. The Up distant (signal 25 on the diagram above) is the only signal on the SVR included in the [[Wyre Forest District Council Local Heritage List]].<ref>[http://www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/planning-and-buildings/conservation-areas-and-listed-buildings/listed-buildings/local-heritage-list/local-heritage-list-for-the-severn-valley-railway.aspx WFDC Local heritage list]</ref><br>
All other signals at Arley are of late GWR/BR(W) steel tubular post and enamel metal arm type. Signal 23, on the up platform, was originally the up starting signal at Llangollen, and removed by SVR volunteers before preservation efforts commenced there. Signal 1, the Down Distant, is motor worked.
