Low quality Streetview images from September 2007 showing two old gateless signals with 12"x20" Safetran Fading LEDs and no bells. As you can see, work had already started on replacing these signals, as new foundations and signal bases were already put in place. Shortly after, brand new gateless signals were installed.
In 2018, gates were added to the existing signals, and an NEG E-Bell was added to the northern signal. Around the same time, the sidelights on the northern signal were removed.

The updated southern signal.
By 2020, the NEG E-Bell was already replaced with a WCH Type 2 E-Bell. I don't know why it was replaced so soon.
In 2023, the crossing was upgraded to quad gates with 2 new exit signals being installed. The existing signals saw minimal changes.
