taken 9 years ago, near to Shepherdswell or Sibertswold, Kent, England

Signalling at Shepherdswell
Signalling at Shepherdswell
The station is called 'Shepherdswell' but the signal box is 'Shepherds Well'. The OS have it as 'Shepherdswell or Sibertswold'. The signal box is now closed but is protected by grade II listing. It dates from c1878 and was built by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. As denoted on the colour light signal, this route is now controlled by the East Kent signalling centre, which is at Gillingham. Although the siding is connected and fully signalled, it appears not to have had much use of late!
