NINE PICTURES: Crawley Signal Box

This brick structure, built in 1877, replaced a smaller signal box which opened with the railway line through Crawley in 1848. From 1978, it was downgraded to a "crossing box"—its only function was controlling the adjacent level crossing where the railway crossed Crawley High Street. It closed completely on 20 April 1986, but has been preserved. The ground floor has two round-arched windows between brick pilasters, and there are sash windows on the first floor, below the hipped roof.
