The original spelling (Beer Ferris)SX4563 : Wrongly named can still be seen on the sign on the old signal box, which in 2006 was converted into a small railway museum. The signal box, while an LSWR original, is quite new to the site having been erected in 1989/90 – it was formerly at Pinhoe railway station on the outskirts of Exeter.
