PLANS have been submitted to carry out necessary repair work to a piece of Warrington’s railway heritage. Network Rail is seeking listed building consent to refurbish Monks Siding Signal Box in Sankey Bridges and give it the loving attention that it rightly deserves. The Grade II-listed building sits on Quay Fold next to the railway line which connects Warrington Bank Quay and Liverpool South Parkway train stations. It was built in 1875 and still retains its original 20-lever LNWR tumbler frame. The signal box is a two-storey timber framed structure. The ground floor houses signalling equipment which is operated by a signaller from the first floor.
