Description

Townsend Fold Level Crossing signal box alongside the Up & Down Irwell line by Holme Lane level crossing at Rawtenstall. Tuesday 18th December 2007

Townsend Fold signal box is a British Railways London Midland Region Type 15 design fitted with a 10 lever London Midland Region Standard frame which opened in January 1959 as a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing, replacing an 1878-built Saxby and Farmer Type 9 design signal box on the opposite side of the line. The box along with the single line between Heywood and Rawtenstall was closed on 5th December 1980 and eventually ownership passed to the East Lancashire Railway who reopened it as a non block post on 29th March 1991 and renamed it Townsend Fold Level Crossing in 2003

The box carries two British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplates
