Place
Boydston Signal Box (1896-1948)
Opened on the Largs Branch (Glasgow and South Western Railway).
This signal box was located between West Kilbride (to the north) and Ardrossan (Parkhouse Junction). The box was on the east side of the line a short way south of the Kirkland Glen Viaduct. The box opened in 1896, there may have been a temporary box just prior to this (although this is not shown on the 1896 OS map).
In the Second World War the Montfode Oil Depot opened to the south.
