What is recorded here
Caergwrle Castle Station Signal Box stood at Caergwrle Station on the Wrexham Mold and Connah's Quay Railway during the Post Medieval period. A small room controlled heavy iron trains, translating human judgement into permission for steel to move through Flintshire. The builder may have watched coal and people pass like blood through a narrow vein, knowing one wrong lever could kill them all.
