history of
the mechanical signalling which once existed on
the railways around Derby and Burton Upon Trent.

The Derby Area Signalling web site is temporarily "down"
The site is moving to a new server which will propagate around the World Wide Web "within 24 hours". The page you are currently looking at is on the old server.
If you are still seeing this page after Saturday 23rd June 2006, it is probably because it is still in your browser's cache. Try refreshing/reloading the page. Also, please ensure you are linking to the correct url of www.derby-signalling.org.uk. Thank you.
For more general signalling matters, I strongly urge
you to go to "The
Signalbox" and follow the links to "The Blower".
There you'll find a mailing list which is WELL worth joining.
You
will, I'm sure, also be interested in
The Midland Railway Society and The Signalling
Record Society
web sites.
There is a large number of local
history
photographs to browse and buy, including a lot of railway related
subjects, on the Picture
The Past web site - highly recommended. For a good selection of
signal box photos,
with many Midland Railway examples, Dave
Strickland's site
is also well worth a look.
