Bridgnorth signal box
From SVR Wiki
A signal box at Bridgnorth that works to Hampton Loade (short section) or Highley (long section) using ETT regulations. Bridgnorth has had a number of signal boxes during its existence. The masonary base of the current signal box was originally slightly longer than it is today. Evidence of this truncation may be found by inspection of the brickwork towards the northern end on the front wall. The upper timber section was replaced by an ill-fitting one that was relocated from Pensnett during the earlier years of the SVRSevern Valley Railway.
