	This signal box pre-dates the Grade II listed Edwardian station buildings by over 25 years and is a good example of a small mid-Victorian London, Brighton & South Coast Railway signal box. It was built in 1876 when the station was located on its original site opened in 1846 to the west of the existing station, fronting Station Road where the present-day Sainsbury's supermarket car park is. The station was then re-sited to the east in 1891 to face Devonshire Square before moving to its present location facing Sea Road in 1902.

	It is very similar in design to Berwick Signal Box also in East Sussex built 3 years later in 1879 by the same railway company which was listed Grade II in 2013<ref>[https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/~~1379825~~?section=official-list-entry Historic England: ~~Bexhill Central Railway Station~~]</ref>. It is also of the Saxby and Farmer Type 5 design patented in 1856 but the Bexhill box has retained its timber windows and round arched window openings at the lower level unlike the Berwick one which has PVCu replacements and bricked up lower windows. The Bexhill Signal Box closed in February 2015.
