Hoghton Bottoms Signalbox

The signalbox was located at the footcrossing near the sidings leading into the quarry. It would have served Hoghton Tower, the cottages in the woods and also Tower Cottages.  I believe this where people would have alighted to to go up to the Tower. A footpath led up through the woods, which I took as a child with my brothers, and emerged near the barn where they now hold the Farmers' Market. 

The sidings leading into the quarry can be seen on the other side of the line.
