Bank Hall

People can now see inside the Prospect Tower at the historic mansion home Bank Hall, Bretherton.

See inside its Prospect Tower, enjoy an exhibition telling the story of this remarkable house – and stroll around its gardens.

Bank Hall is a Grade 2* listed building completed in 1608 and remodelled in the 1830s to become a mixture of Jacobean and Georgian Gothic in style. However it fell into troubled times and from the early 1970s lay abandoned and derelict.

Fight for survival

A campaign stretching by the Friends of Bank Hall lasted more than two decades as the group fought to save the home from ruin. 

A full restoration began in 2017 overseen by Heritage Trust for the North West with amazing support from Friends of Bank Hall, National Lottery Heritage Fund and property developers Next Big Thing Developments. 

Bank Hall has now been returned to its former glory and welcoming new residents into plush apartments.

It was removed from the Heritage at Risk Register in November 2022.
