Does anyone know the plan for the signal box? Is it going to get moved? Or will it be left to fall apart on the field?

Apparently the signal box is off to mid Norfolk railway some time in January. Also on their website there is an appeal for funds to renovate it.

I'd be interested to know if the Spooner Row Council have charged any storage fees for the Signal Box.

Does anyone know if there was?

The mid Norfolk Railway is owned and run by by the registered Charity. {Preservation Trust Norfolk Railway}. Majority of people involved are Volunteers.

Someone posted on this site about charging them a storage fee for the Old Signal Box temporary located on Spooner Row Playing Field.

REALLY? What is wrong with people. Is there really people with this mentality living amongst us in our rural community.

I suggest these people get out more. Go for a nice walk and have a good think about life.

It looks like the signal box has now gone to its new location despite the high winds. I read on another website yesterday that MNR would be transferring it today even though Station Road is closed due to works.

Hello

 

I was wondering if any one knows what has happened to the Spooner Row Signal Box please? If so where has it gone and what will happen with it and when did it exactly leave our village please? Also does any one have any video footage or photos of it leaving our village please? Also who came and picked it up?

 

Thank you

 

Kind Regards

Hello Adam,

The signal box left Spooner Row on Friday 18 February. The pick up was arranged by Mid Norfolk Railway and transferred to Becketswell Wymondham.

Hello

 

Thank you so so much for your reply and the information regarding the Spooner Row Signal Box.

 

Do you know what plans they will have for it at Becketswell Wymondham?

 

Will we still be able to go and see it and take photo's of it?

 

I have never heard of Becketswell Wymondham.

 

Where is it and what is there please?

 

Thank you again

 

Kind Regards

Anyone passing where signal box was, may also notice the concrete box has now gone too. It all happened yesterday. Also, though, on the station carpark are two dump bags of sharp sand. The workmen (Balfour Beatty)  told us villagers can help themselves to it it was incorrect. They had ordered stones. They aren't planning to get it picked up.

The signal box should have stayed in Spooner Row.
