<p>Agecroft Junction signal box located on the Down side of the Manchester to Clifton Junction line controlling the junction with the connecting line to Brindle Heath Junction. Saturday 9th April 1988
</p><p>Agecroft Junction signal box was a British Railways London Midland Region Type 14 design fitted with a 65 lever Railway Executive Committee frame that opened in November 1950 replacing a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Standard design signal box on the opposite side of the line which was suffering from subsidence. The connecting line to Brindle Heath Junction was closed on 10th May 1987 and the box was closed on 9th April 1988 when signalling passed to a new panel installed in Windsor Bridge signal box

The black with white lettering nameboard on the front of the box is a London Midland and Scottish Railway post-1935 design and was originally painted maroon with white lettering. Missing from just below the open toilet window on the end of the signal box (note the clean patch of brickwork) is a 32½” x 15½” British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel name plate which unusually had a white border
