garyboy66 0 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi All My uncle died this week aged 94 , and he was a signalman at the box and level crossing at Beeston, I can remember going to this box in the early sixties. And remember him having trouble shutting the gates when workers at Boots were leaving work. Does anybody know where I can obtain a photo of this box, I have done some internet searching but have had no luck THANKS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Merthyr Imp 729 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Any spotters at the station would have been thrilled to see an A1 through there. Another photo on another site gives the date as 1964 - I wonder how it came to be working a freight on that line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
