The old Ropley 'B' Signalbox, both seen in
September 2003. This box was originally in use at Netley. The iron beam is
part of the framework for a new wheel-drop shed being constructed.

Plain Ropley Signalbox photographed on 16th July 2008
after the de-commissioning of the 'A' box. Compare with the above
image and note that the new wheel-drop shed has now been built very close to
the back of the box - you can see there's a recess in the wall in
order to miss the back of the box!

The frame now used in the box came from Barnstaple Junction 'A' box. This photo
shows the ex-Barnstaple Junction frame installed in the ex-Netley box.
