Four signal boxes that survived in 2018 out of a much larger number that served this area in its heyday are visited in the first video.
A second video. lower down the page, records the last day of operation at Hebden Bridge signal box filmed by The Friends of Hebden Bridge Station Signal Box Preservation Group.
The geographic locations of the signal boxes can be seen on a current OS Map: Mill Lane Junction, Halifax, Milner Royd Junction, Hebden Bridge. The map will place each location at the centre of the map panel, roll the mouse over the icon(s) to reveal what they represent. Increase the scale using the scale selector on the left to separate closely positioned icons.
