Brading signalbox on the Isle of Wight has just been restored and looks lovely. Doesn't signal trains anymore as Ryde St Johns Road controls the whole line nowadays. They like their railway in Brading and the station building on the up platform also serves as a little museum and tearoom so it's a pleasant place to wait for a train.

G'Day Gents
Often use to go over to Island for day trips, when I lived in Southampton, a ride on a 'thumper' to Portsmouth Harbour, a sea voygage?? and to top it off a run on a 'Lundon Lecky' a good day out. I was on the beach at Ryde, when one of the last 'Shackleton's' flew over, then turned and then flew away, magic moment
