The signal box controlled railway traffic around the station and the level crossing that lead to the Iron Bridge.

Prior to its closure, rationalisation took place in the form of closure of the signal box on 25 November 1956, removal of the upper portion and relocation of the token instruments to the Station Master's office in the main station building.

Although thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe, its planned closure pre-dated his report.

On the opposite side of the road, an abutment of the footbridge visible in the accompanying photograph remains.
