THE historic main doors of Todmorden Town Hall are being restored, returning them to their former glory.

The double doors have been used as the main entrance to the hall throughout its history. However, time has taken its toll on the oak doors, with the wood having warped and some of the beading being lost over the years.

To ensure these doors can remain in place for many years to come, Calderdale Council has commissioned specialist repair works, in line with the building’s Grade 1-listed status.

Armitage & Clegg will be repairing the doors, temporarily removing them to be stripped and sanded, the missing oak beading replaced and then painted black, the likely original finish.

While this work is taking place, temporary replacement doors will be installed.

Historic England has given its approval.
