Snippet Detail

Figure 57 is a track layout for New Biggin, based upon a Midland Railway survey for 1911 and an LMS survey for 1931.  The loading dock near bridge No 271 (/location-summaries/structure-283670) was, by an agreement of 17 September 1926, sold to Gotham Co Ltd, who became responsible for the maintenance of this, whilst the railway naturally retained responsibility for the associated track work.

Plate 152 is an image from 1973 of the signal box at New Biggin.  The box was brought into use in 1890, was constructed of wood and measured 20ft x 11ft 6in x 12ft with a 24 lever tumbler frame.  It closed on 16 December 1973.
