About Us

It is with regret that we have to report that, after nearly three years of discussion with Transport for London (TfL), the project to open the empty signal box on Chorleywood Station as a museum has had to be shelved. It was planned to open as an educational resource intended to cover the history of how the coming of the railway impacted the development of Chorleywood and surrounding areas. This is a shame for the future of this listed building, as it would have been restored and maintained for TfL at no cost to them and would have given the box a useful future, benefiting the community.

Consequently, our project team do not feel it possible to continue with the project as originally intended, but we instead focused on completing the book which was originally developed to complement visits to the museum. The substantial research that went into this has brought it to become a 62 page A4 book of great interest. 

The book was sold widely at Chorleywood Bookshop and other locations and is now sold out. An A5 version was issued free to all existing signed up Friends of Chorleywood Signal Box.
