yes there was a signal box at Warden. I can not remember when it was closed but it may have been sometime in the 1980’s.
There was a railway bungalow next to it. Mr. & Mrs. Tully, who were not railway people were the last to live there. There was also another railway cottage in a field, between the railway and the road, so far up the Moss Bank.
I would think Quality Cottages would belong to the Straker family but I can not be certain.
