An internal view of Henley in Arden's Signal Box showing some of the fifty-seven levers that operated the signals and points circa 1950. At thirty-eight feet long and thirteen feet wide Henley in Arden Signal Box was the largest signal box on the North Warwickshire Railway. The manually operated levers were locked and released by a catch handle at the back, and beneath the floor was the locking room where mechanical interlock of the levers ensured that only certain combinations could be performed, and then only in a specific order of actions.
