Monument record TR 34 SW 1839 - Former site of Dover Marine Station Signal Box, Dover.
Summary
Dover Marine Station, which was opened in 1914 at the landward end of Admiralty Pier, was controlled by an SE&CR-designed 120-lever signal box positioned to the west of the station, immediately adjacent to the tracks from Priory. The signal box comprised a substantial brick base and was in fact a much larger version of the signal cabin which still exists at Folkestone Harbour, demonstrating traits of those early Saxby & Farmer products. It structure was eventually demolished after it had fallen out of use in 2000. (location accurate to the nearest 5m based on available information)
