Just to the east of Rolleston station, on the Nottingham - Newark line, is Staythorpe level crossing which is controlled by this fine looking traditional signal box. The box also operates the associated semaphore signals for the crossing and block section and supervises the manually operated crossing at Rolleston station. It used to control access to coal and oil sidings for a nearby power station that have since closed.
