Bardon Mill Station Signal Box - List Entry
-
Description
....Railway signal box, built around 1874, by and for the North Eastern Railway Company....follows the earliest standard in-house design produced by the Northern Division, which was under the direction of the NER architect Thomas Prosser, now categorised as Type N1 by the Signalling Study Group. It was built around 1874 to control the small station of Bardon Mill (List entry 1156426, Grade II) and level-crossing located east of the signal box, on the north side of the track. Bardon Mill Station Signal Box was altered to an electric circuit and reduced to unstaffed status in 1967, being retained for operational flexibility during engineering works. In 2012 seven NER Type N1s were identified: Ashington, Bedlington South, Newsham, Chathill, Haydon Bridge and Prudhoe. Chathill (built around 1873 on the North Sunderland Railway line), is listed whilst Ashington has been demolished. It is expected that none will be operational within the next decade. Bardon Mill Station Signal Box is one of the earliest Type N1s and was de-commissioned in November 2019. -
