Signal boxes of the
SOMERSET & DORSET JOINT RAILWAY

The Midland and London & South Western Railways jointly owned this company, but signalling was always managed by the latter.

	Wellow The first boxes were small, hipped-roof cabins very much like the London & South Western boxes of the era, but from 1878, new cabins were provided with hipped roofs with decorative barge boards, and large paned (three-high) window sections. Most were built with stone or brick bases.
	Binegar Similar architecture could be found at Binegar, although this example had a stone base.

After 1895, the few new boxes erected on the system were of the London & South Western's 1894 brick design.

Joint ownership (between the SR and LMSR) continued after the 1923 Grouping, until the S&D became part of the Southern Region of British Railways.
