Hi Atarah
This is intended to be my first of many posts on Bank House.

You picture is I assume of the right hand side of the building. I have attached a plan of the site dated 1895. Some of it is blurred and I have tried where possible to clarify some of the descriptions.

It would appear the entrance to the site was via the side adjacent to the present Ambulance Station. The Gate posts are still there. On passing through the Gate you would have entered Carriage Road (This text is blurred so if someone has evidence of this please let me know).

I have enhanced the image and coloured in sections for clarity.

If anyone knows any more about Bank House and its occupants, please can you add to the post.
