Signal Box and level crossing at Kirkham

Signal Box and level crossing at Kirkham
The signal box dates from c. 1856. Built for the York and North Midland Railway, probably designed by G. T. Andrews. It is now a grade II listed building.

Kirkham Abbey railway station was a minor station serving the village of Kirkham in North Yorkshire, on the York to Scarborough Line and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930.The station building, now a private dwelling, is situated to the right out of picture)

The station was originally just named Kirkham, but the 'Abbey' suffix was added on 1 June 1875, to take into account the proximity of the ruins of Kirkham Priory. (See sign on the signal box)

Thanks once again for your visit and kind comments Rosa, much appreciated. I guess one day the signal box will become redundant when the 'digital' railway comes to the north, if ever. I think a better improvement would be to have enough seats and for the trains to run on time!!

All the best, Doug

Most of the days have been blue skies but this day the clouds decided to come over which was okay as it suited the subject matter of the pictures. Only 25-30 degrees here near the coast. Thanks for your visit and kind comment Fred.

Have a good day, Doug
