What is recorded here
Freestanding single-bay single-stage over part raised base signal box, extant 1903, on a rectangular plan. Destroyed, 1922. Reconstructed, 1922, producing present composition. Refenestrated, ----. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, timber bargeboards to gables on timber purlins, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on exposed timber rafters retaining cast-iron downpipes. Red brick English Garden Wall bond walls on chamfered cushion course on coursed or snecked rubble stone plinth. Square-headed "monitor window" (cabin) with iron-covered sill course, and iron-covered mullions framing replacement fixed-pane uPVC fittings. Interior retaining levers. Set on platform in grounds shared with Enniscorthy Railway Station.
A signal box not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Enniscorthy Railway Station complex, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the complex in the late nineteenth century: meanwhile, aspects of the composition illustrate the near-total reconstruction of the signal box following its destruction during "The Troubles" (1919-23).
