Published Date:

THE HISTORIC significance of Whaley Bridge's transhipment warehouse could soon be recorded in a special plaque on the side of the building.
High Peak Borough Council has granted listed building consent for the installation of a red circular plaque on the eastern elevation of the Grade II* structure.
Originally constructed to form a transhipment point between the Cromford and High Peak Railway and the Peak Forest Canal, the building is now a popular focal point within the town's Canal Basin.
Installation of the plaque would be part of a pilot scheme being promoted by the Transport Trust.
