<ref name="SRSSignalBoxRegister_Update9">Signal Box Register, Volume 1: Great Western, revised 2011 edition, Signalling Record Society (plus correction sheet #9 )</ref> The box has not changed significantly since that time, with the exception of modifications to the interlocking of the lever frame.
The box previously controlled access to Highley's [[Collieries served by the Severn Valley Railway#Highley Colliery|colliery exchange sidings]] where [[The Engine House]] now stands. Two ground frames once existed were commissioned on 30 January 1939 in the section to Hampton Loade, allowing access to [[Alveley Sidings]], namely [[Alveley Sidings (South) ground frame|Alveley North Sidings (South)]] and [[Alveley South Sidings (North) ground framesframe|Alveley Sidings (North)]]. An intermediate token instrument was provided to allow trains to be locked in to these sidings. The North ground frame was taken out of use in 1974, whilst the South ground frame survived until an unknown later date, released on the Highley-Hampton Loade token.
The box was closed by BR in 1969 with the ending of coal traffic from Alveley. BR were already aware of the SVR's intention to take on the southern section of the line, so in December 1972 the SVR acquired "''...a virtually intact and working box together with all the original signals and associated track and point work''".<ref name=SVR29>SVR News 29</ref> The outside of the box was repainted in traditional GWR colours, while Arley’s Barry Geens carried out a meticulous restoration of the wood and brass work on the block instrument shelf.<ref name=SVR29/> The box was brought back into use on 2 March 1974<ref>SVR News 31</ref> with the commissioning of ETT working to Hampton Loade, in time for passenger services to Highley to begin in April 1974. Passenger services were extended to Arley and Bewdley the following month, although without ETT working. Long section working to Bridgnorth was brought into use in 1975, and ETT working to Arley and Bewdley North was commissioned on 10 April 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. It also featured in an episode of [[Survivors]].
