Scope and Content Ardrossan North No 2 Signal Box, Ardrossan, North Ayrshire This signal box was presumably opened in 1890 by the Lanarkshire & Ayrshire Railway, a subsidiary of the Caledonian Railway, which was built to give the latter access to Ayrshire, and particularly to the port of Ardrossan for the shipment of coal and iron, and for excursion traffic to Arran. This shows the box from the south-west, from the end of one of the platforms of Montgomery Pier Station. This box was built, to a standard Caledonian Railway pattern, to control traffic in and around the station. In the background is Ardrossan Oil Refinery. Montgomery Pier Station was used to a limited extent for excursion traffic until 1966, when it was closed, and steamer services concentrated at the Glasgow & South Western Railway's Winton Pier. Freight services to Montgomerie Pier ended in 1968, and this box was probably demolished soon after. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
