Cool house

Last week I was working in Louth, Lincolnshire and spotted this cool house.

It's a converted signal box from a now removed railway. The owner had kept some of the original railway signs to add a period 'feel'.

I had a look on the Web and found a picture of the signal box when it was still in use.

The owners had also retained one of the gates that were drawn across the road (by hand) whenever a train came and had to cross the level crossing across the road.

Note in the bottom right hand corner of the picture there is a cat. This lived in the house across the road and would come out and meiow at passers-by wanting attention. It was very friendly, but wouldn't look round when I wanted to take its picture. (Cat owners will know what I mean!)
