Tagged with: Signal box
A signal box dating probably from 1908 when the Wye Valley Railway was taken over by the Great Western Railway.
A standard McKenzie and Holland design with a stone base for the locking room, a timber framed upper floor fully glazed on three sides and with a Welsh slate roof. Nine 6-pane windows to the front and six to the sides, part is the door on one end. Sliding casements. Gables with horizontal boarding, plain bargeboards and spike finials.
The box is now a schoolroom for the station visitor centre. It was closed in 1960 and the 25 lever McKenzie and Holland frame was removed soon afterwards.
Included as an externally unaltered early C20 railway signal box, and for its group value with the other buildings at Tintern station.
