Hi.
Most signal box enthusiasts, like myself, are hyper aware of the plight of the former signal box at Deeping St. James. Actually, at the moment, it doesnt exist anymore! The box dating from 1876 is currently on various pallets (brick and bricks and more bricks) with an uncertain future.
However, over the past few days, news is getting around that the box will be rebuilt. It is uncertain where but it will be close to its original location, but unlikely to be close to Network Rail land.
The St. James Deeping SB fund currently has £20,000 to help with the rebuild. Of course, it will take a lot more than this to see it through. Please visit the link below to see more news on the project and if you have any input you wish to add about the box, please post them on here. Thank you.
