Time for a progress report on the reinstatement of the Signal Box at Constable Burton!

The Box has been sitting at at Scruton for some time, having been purchased from the Furness line earlier in the year, but work has recently started on fixing the roof: The wood has been sorted – with some planks being replaced – and  a good coat of wood preservative has been applied.
