Been past today and there is "something afoot".
Two "workmen" stood by the open doorway into the building. Large pieces of new wood nailed to the bottom of each doorway where the engines came out of. Through a "hole" in one of the windows, could see inside and there are rows and rows of what looked like long metal bars (similar in style to downspouts).

Mmmmm, wonder whats going on.

The reason I have always been interested in this building is cos one of my great uncles, George Hindle, worked as a stone mason for Cunliffe's of Accrington, who were the builders of the station.
