More about this scene

There had been a house (probably half-timbered) at Bank Hall in the Middle Ages, but in about 1780 it was decided to improve the building, and the structure seen in the picture was the result. Bank Hall served as a military hospital in the First World War, and in 1919 it became Burnley's maternity and children's hospital. In 1895 the Hall was still in private hands. Note the window boxes in the top view and the bowed façade which overlooked Burnley.
