Hidden by trees there is no public view of the frontage and the side view, from the footpath that leads from Long Lane up towards Castle Naze, is of semi-dereliction with grounds overgrown and a large plain structure, Grade II listed, but now under threat. As residents of houses which were once part of the Bank Hall estate the writers have film taken in the 1930s and 1940s showing Bank Hall functioning as a smart country house. After tlre Second World War it was tumed to various uses including flats for retired army officers, a nursing home, a special school and a homeless hostel. It is currently semi-abandoned. Bank Hall The Hall and estate buildings which exist today are largely the work of Henry Constantine Renshaw, a Salford flax spinner, who bought the estate in 1864 and lived there until his death in 1894.

  • The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List
    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes. Discover over 30 magnificent rooms, a 105-acre garden, parkland, a farmyard and playground, and one of Britain’s best farm shops. 3. Conquer the tallest ‘Peak’ in the Peak District At 636 metres above sea level, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world when you conquer the Kinder Scout plateau. It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4. Discover the UK’s oldest Ice Age cave art at Creswell Crags Walk in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters, uncover the secrets of early man, discover incredible Ice Age cave art and marvel at the UK’s largest discovery of ritual protection marks at this picturesque limestone gorge on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. 5.
