The Station Building, Mytholmroyd

CIO 117 4609

Annual Report – April 1[st] 2020 – March 31[st] 2021

Due to the pandemic that affected everyone and society in general, the Annual Report for the continuation of business as normal was drastically cut down.

April commenced well as trustees were assured that the promised Northern Refurbishment funds of £100,000 are still available; likewise the Railway Heritage Trust; funding of £110,000. Architect, Jacquie Milham RIBA made a start of her inspection of the building prior to work commencing ; social distancing observed by all.

It was decided to meet via Zoom ‘as and when’ there was a need for information; also at this time, the ‘made to measure’ flood gates were put in place, (apart from one door for access) as preventive measures against possible flooding events.

November 2020 – Meeting convened – Information from architect, Jacquie Milham RIBA/regarding QS Costings and Drawings - all present agreed to the Costings; selected Option 1 of the two Architectural Drawings shown which involves some internal change to make the rooms more tenable. This choice also confirmed by Andy Savage MBE, CEO The Railway Heritage Trust, and Andrew Curran, Assets and Buildings Director, Network Rail (Owners of the Building).

Trustees requested that the Licence to work ‘on and in the station building’ from Network Rail be extended until May 2021: the 25Year Lease for the Building is taking longer to administer , due to its non-standard format, i.e non-commercial, with no responsibility for external maintenance at an annual pepper- corn rent, or less.

Discussions regarding strengthened glass/or polycarbonate balustrade around canopy area as a better alternative to the planned wooden fencing; also plans for a video to record the emergence of the building from a ‘Wreck to the pride of Mytholmroyd.’ Funding and professional videographer provided by Northern Seed Corn Fund, Community Foundation for Calderdale and Community Rail Network

February 2021 – Via Zoom; 3 new trustees required to fill vacancies; individuals suggested and will be followed up; the work load is becoming heavier, and more complex – decision made to create a Funding Panel; Room Hire Policy as well as a policy re house rules. VAT – following advice from other station groups, the complicated administration that could be involved the trustees decided not to go ahead to seek VAT excemption Payments made to Architect Jacquie Milham, Quantity Surveyor Andrew Webster; LEDA (Air Source Heat Exchange ) Jim Wilde.

Funds stand at £23,121 at the present.

March 2021.Advised that the planning process is under way by Jacquie Milham; all relevant Documents, Drawings, and Costings submitted to Calderdale MBC’s Planning Dept. on the 31[st] March 2021. Validation expected around 28[th] May 2021

Currently, there is a deficit in the Costings for the refurbishment of circa £90,000; applications for funding have been submitted to Historic England (early New Year – no response after a request for official Costings) London North Eastern Rail Community Fund – submitted March 2021.

We have also applied and received funding from Hebden Royd Town Council, Community Foundation For Calderdale, Calderdale MBC, Community Rail Network, Northern Trains Ltd., Seed Corn fund and The Railway Heritage Trust.

The station building’s transformation thus far has been viewed most positively by the local community, and beyond – it is a handsome building, and at 3 storeys tall is seen for many miles; there has been much interest in its future use – thus far most of the rooms have had strong expressions of interest in their uses.

The Public Benefit remains the conversion of the disused former station building into a centre for the local community to administer and operate. This Report shows the amount and variety of voluntary work being undertaken to achieve that goal.

We, the volunteer Trustees feel proud at the contribution of many hours of hard work, frustration and conversely, delight at the transformation of this building for the use of our community and its future generation to come. At a guess it has to be thousands of volunteer hours that have contributed to the successful restoration of an interesting building for the use of the community.
