Summary[edit]

Description

Hereford signal box located on the Down side of the line at the southern end of Hereford (formerly Barrs Court) station. Saturday 22nd March 2008

Ayleston Hill signal box was one of only nine signal boxes built to the London and North Western/Great Western Joint type 2 design. It was built by the Railway Signal Company but was fitted with a 62 lever Saxby and Farmer Rocker frame and opened in July 1884. A replacement 69 lever Great Western Railway vertical tappet 5-bar frame was installed in June 1938. The signal box was renamed Hereford on 9th June 1973 and the lever frame was reduced to 60 levers around the same time. A Kearns-Barker one control switch signalling panel was commissioned on 11th November 1984 to control Shelwick Junction allowing the signal box there to be closed. The signal box was fitted with uPVC windows in the mid-2000s
