Cromer Beach Signal Box

I paid a visit to the preserved Cromer Beach 'box today - an unpublicised attraction that deserves a lot more visitors than it seems to get!
The site seems to fall under the remit of the NNR, who pay the important bills like site insurance etc, but the actual opening to the Public is down to about half a dozen volunteers, with the sign on the access gate of Holt Road in Cromer stating they are "open the first Saturday of the month" - hence my visit there today.
In the event, I was told that "normally" there are members on site every Wednesday and Saturday - Basically if there isn't a padlock on the entrance gate, they will accept visitors.
There is no admission charge and the people there today were very keen and knowledgeable about the site.
It's interactive as well, so you get the chance to pull levers and work their demonstration point & signals!

Some photos.....

 

What a hidden gem! I saw the first two pictures and thought - "that's nice - in solitary splendour" then saw that is actually next to the working NR railway...what a Fantastic location!
