Long time lurker, first time poster... I know there is a Calder Valley re-signalling thread but this is a specific issue.
Hebden Bridge Signal Box is Grade II listed partly due to it being an exemplar L&Y box. The re-signalling scheme will see it become redundant and as such NR have put in an application to put up security grilles and remove the stairs.
Local concerns are around that this will make any re-use even more expensive. NRs application is predicated on preventing trespass and vandalism (which is sound) but the proposals do not include alternative arrangements such as palisade fencing (the railway being relatively open at the location).
Anyone interested can see the docs here...
