I should have taken a 'before' photo, but forgot, as the Bedale signal box toilet was in a dire need of a clean!!! Not surprising after over five years of not being used. Before I started cleaning it, you couldn't get in for fear of being strangled on all the spiders web strung across the inside. This view is after cleaning. However work still needs to be done, as the observant amongst you will notice that there is no toilet seat !!! (22/02/2022)
