Pinhoe Signal Box

The L&SWR Type 1 box at Pinhoe on the outskirts of Exeter opened c.1875. It contained an 18 lever Stevens & Sons Tappet frame and controlled the single to double line connection from here to Exeter Central, after the former L&SWR West of England main line was singled from here to Honiton in 1967. The adjacent level crossing had been converted to barriers by the date of this photo and Pinhoe box was abolished on 15th February 1988 when the area it controlled came under the control of a panel installed in Exmouth Junction box.
