Prospect Tower Bank Hall Exhibition

PLEASE READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR FULL INSTRUCTION


MANY THANKS WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON

Bank Hall, in Bretherton, is one of the most beautiful and interesting mansion homes in the country. It might not be well known, as it is tucked away and Its location could be passed every day without realising its existence as the lofty chimneys and the remnants of the clock tower only faintly glimpse over the tree tops. Indeed, only the lodge gives a clue to the fact that there, behind the pines and past the huge sixty metre barn is a veritable jewel.

The house has been home to high-profile families, been occupied by military personnel during the Second World War,  a film location and subject of BBC2’s ‘Restoration’ programme.

Visit the Prospect Tower Exhibition and learn about the story of the home, its occupants and it's fight for survival, after laying abandoned for over half a century.

It is snowdrop season during February, so please leave enough time for parking to be on time for your guided slot.
