PHASE TWO of the historical sign boards project is nearing completion. Boards have been prepared for Ashburys, Gorton, Fairfield and Hattersley. Much work has gone into the creation of the contents by Paul Abell (Ashburys and Gorton), Jeroen Blom (Fairfield) and Babs Allen (Hattersley). Neil Williams has provided additional advice. We thank Anne Michaelides at naturedesignsign for her patience during checking processes and for producing four excellent designs! Paul Abell's editorial skills have also been much appreciated. Peter Longden interim Glossop Line Manager for Northern has viewed possible sites for the boards. This was followed up by a visit on Friday 22nd February by those involved led by Steve Forde Community Rail Officer for SEMCRP -the organisation funding these boards. Steve has been a staunch supporter of this project and his report on locations has now been submitted to Northern for final approval. So we look forward to seeing these new boards in situ to complement those at Glossop, Hadfield and Dinting. There will be a formal launch of these boards in the near future and we will publicise this date when known.
