An application has been submitted to Sefton Council to save an historic Grade II listed landmark.
The Birkdale signal box was built in 1905 is one of the most important railway landmarks in Merseyside. In recent years the building, which was once a part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, has fallen into a state of disrepair.
Network Rail has submitted an application to carry out “essential” renovation to secure its “long-term structural preservation”. The signal box is located on Weld Road and was made a listed building in 2013.
