Unique c1872
signal box, complete with original levers and equipment. Now with re-laid
track and working signal. Instow Signal box, with most of its equipment
still intact, has survived to become the first such building in the country
to acquire listed building status (Grade II). Even better, is the fact
that it is open to the general public throughout the year (Sunday afternoons),
thanks to Devon County Council and an enthusiastic group of volunteers.
You can now step into the past, where the safety of passengers was paramount,
and picture yourself as a Signalman, even to the extent of pulling a lever
and operating a signal! |
