Description: EXTRA INFOPHOTO AWRE JUNCTION SIGNAL BOX THE CONDITION OF THE 1909-BUILT SIGNAL BOX - THE DETERIORATION OF WHICH HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BY GEOGRAPH CONTRIBUTORS OVER THE YEARS - HAS GONE DOWNHILL IN THE FOURTEEN YEARS SINCE STUART WILDING TOOK. THE BOX ONCE CONTROLLED THE JUNCTION WITH THE FOREST OF DEAN CENTRAL'S LINE TO NEW FANCY COLLIERY (ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T GO THAT FAR FOR LONG). IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED THAT THE FODCR TRANSPORTED ITS TRAFFIC DIRECTLY TO A DOCK AT NEARBY BRIMSPILL VIA ITS OWN LINE: THIS WAS NEVER BUILT (ALTHOUGH SOME EARTHWORKS WERE COMPLETED) AND A JUNCTION WITH THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY WAS BUILT INSTEAD. THE FODCR NEVER LIVED UP TO ITS PROMISE AND WAS CLOSED IN STAGES FROM 1872 (FOUR YEARS AFTER OPENING) TO FINAL OFFICIAL CLOSURE OF THE REMAINING STUB TO BLAKENEY IN 1949 (ALTHOUGH IN PRACTICE TRAFFIC HAD FALLEN OFF SHARPLY AFTER THE END OF WWII WHICH HAD SEEN THE LINE USED FOR THE TRANSPORT OF CHARCOAL). THE SIGNAL BOX HAS BEEN DERELICT SINCE THE 1970S. 2020 COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) JOHN WINDER PHOTO PAPER THICKNESS NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH THICKNESS NOTES REF NO JWV-1602 PHOTO SIZE SIZE 6 X 4 inches CONDITION: SOME CROPPING OR WHITE LINES TOP/BOTTOM MAY OCCUR DUE TO PHOTO RATIO WATERMARK IF PRESENT ON THE IMAGE WILL NOT APPEAR ON ITEM SENT TO YOU: NOTES This is a print and supply service for an image that is COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) John Winder obtained from GEOGRAPH and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License details available here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ MANY OTHER ITEMS ARE BEING ADDED TO MY SHOP DAILY
