The proposed restorative works are 'sympathetic' to the listed building
A Grade II listed signal box in 'poor condition' has been given the green light for repairs. The Lake District National Park Authority has approved proposals from Network Rail to carry out restorative works to the signal box at Bootle Station which dates back to the 19th century.
It adds the proposed restorative works are "sympathetic" to the listed building and will provide "much needed" repair works to strengthen the structure. Among proposed works include rebuilding the chimney including replacing stonework in poor condition, replacing "deteriorated or broken" service supports as well as the removal of the existing protective paint system and recoating with a new Network Rail approved system.
