Our last link to our industrial past and the last signal box of it's type in Wales
The Glanamman Signal Box in Station Road was built by Great Western Railway in 1901
to replace the original. It is a unique and attractive structure, the last of this type (7b) in this
country. It features a distinctive undercroft, hipped roof and a three over two pane
arrangement built in red brick with blue bricks for corner decoration, a GWR trademark.
The Signal Box represents the last vestige of Amman Valley’s rich industrial heritage. It is an
iconic building of both architectural and historical significance which deserves to be
preserved for future generations.
The council had surveyed the local community, and its findings revealed a resounding 95%
of its respondents wished to retain the Signal Box for community use. To this end Amman
Valley Railway Society made a financial proposal to the council which was rejected without
any discussion with the charity.
We, the undersigned, petition Cwmaman Town Council for the Signal Box, a community
asset, to be retained by the council for the benefit of, and use by, the local community.

Really feel the Valley would be a much better place with this signal box open to public use.
This Signal Box is the only one of its kind remaining. Every effort should be made to retain it for the community to enjoy.
As the last signal box of its type it deserves to be preserved. Applying for Listing might help
A valueble piece of both local and national history that deserves to be preserved.
I am not even a local resident and I know this beautiful historic building. Please do not be responsible after all these years for it's demise.
This is a heritage building and should preserved.
Historical building, should be kept for the community.

Why destroy a beautiful building that the community is proud of and is part of their history.
