The original signal box at Spooner Row was built in the 1880's. It is listed on the Historic England website as a Grade II Listed Building and categorised as a Great Eastern Railway (GER) type 2.
The signal box with its semaphore signalling system and manually operated wooden gates were operational until the level crossing was automated in December 2012. Automatic barriers with warning lights were installed.
In 2021 the signal box was removed and relocated to the Wymondham Abbey Station on the Mid-Norfolk Railway.
Occasionally, the Flying Scotsman and other steam engines can be seen passing through Spooner Row!
