Our walk was soon over, but on our way into Stokesley we saw the site of the old railway station, closed to passengers about 70 years ago, and to goods about 60 years ago. The station buildings are still there, used as offices for an architect.
This signal box was once beside the main station buildings and controlled a level crossing, but once the line was closed it was moved across the road to beside a house.
The colour scheme is nothing like what it would have been in its railway days, and there have been several upgrades - CCTV, a small wind turbine, and hidden on the opposite side of the roof are solar panels. I've no idea what it is now used for, but I think it would make a great man cave!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It is interesting to see what remains of disused railway routes. Very often railway station buildings survive, either as private houses or commercial premises. It is less common to see a signal box survive, unless on a preserved railway line.
Ps. The heather is coming up to full flower, it looks lovely.
( Those animals are black sheeps.)
