In the 1970s, derelict signal boxes on closed lines were quite common around Essex and East Anglia. This example on the Witham to Maldon line used to control the level crossing just outside Maldon East station and the junction for the line to Maldon West and Woodham Ferrers. The view is towards the station, which lies over the road underpass bridge and to the right. The attractive station building has been preserved, but the majority of this scene has been transformed into a busy road and roundabout. See image 37713
