The disused and overgrown signal box at Brading station on the Isle of Wight. The box was built by the Southern Railway at the junction between the Ryde-Ventnor Town main line and Brading-Bembridge branch line. Its fortunes declined in the 1950s when the branch line was closed and the main line truncated at Shanklin, it finally closed in circa 1989 when all signalling on the island was centralised at Ryde St John's Road by the Network SouthEast division of British Rail.
