The Wainfleet All Saints signal box is a Type 1 box of the Great Northern Railway (GNR). It is rectangular in plan, built of brick with a pitched slate roof. It is a good surviving example of its type that remains substantially unaltered and was built in 1899. It retains its original Railway Signal Co. lever frame. The operations room contains a lever frame with block shelf and equipment above and the original signalling mechanism remains in place although the wheel mechanism for raising the crossing gates has been removed. There is an external metal stairway that provides access and a walkway supported on metal brackets that runs around three sides of the building.
