My guess these plates are from one of the M&GN boxes between Spalding and Sutton Bridge. The lack of working distants, economical facing points, and the slot arrangement with the ground frame signal all seem to point me in that direction. I think they date from when the line was rationalised after closure as a through route. Spalding to Sutton bridge was worked as a freight only line until 1965. Any thoughts?

Sadly, I can't print a photo off, because I know some guys who worked the line and seeing one of them tomorrow night.

You should be able to save the picture without any problems.. The same question was asked on another site. One reply has directed me to look at Long Sutton. I think that is where the plates are from.
