This one is taken of Crow Nest Box in the mid 1980s in the snow.
The camera was perched on top of the bridge & hence it accidentally ending up in shot.
Thanks Baldylocks. Seems so lonely up there now without the box and signalers. The box was commissioned in October 1972 and demolished in July 2013 by Network Rail, sad end.
All the best Baldylocks.
Should have read: closed in July 2013 and demolished months later.
Thanks Colin,had look at some notes & can confirm that Crow Nest Jct box was demolished on the weekend of Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th December 2013.
Doesn`t seem over a year ago,how time flies.
All the best Colin.
it was knocked down between christmas and newyear 2013 http://youtu.be/t0qTYm-Q3OY check out my video of it november 2013
Seen the video of the box, Cullie. Very complicated intricate of moving parts and fine detail. Well done and all the best.
Demolished on Sat 7th-8th December 2013, gone by Mon 9th December 2013. Signal and track now operated from Picadily.
