Built in 1896 and for 120 years controlled trains on the Nottingham to Lincoln line. It was taken out of service following the resignalling in 2016, and has been moved and preserved, and is now fitted out with period Midland Railway signalling equipment. You can see what it was like to be a country station signalman, and are welcome to have a go operating the instruments and levers.
