These pictures of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Bank, now Barclays Bank, are almost like one of those "Spot the difference
contests". Here are a few - can you spot anymore? No side door to the bank, no chimney pots, no roof decorations and no child with silly hat. The corner stone of the Trinity Chapel was laid on
Easter Monday 1877 by chief subscriber Mr Marmaduke Fox of the Marmavilla, Church Lane. The Marmavilla was a large victotrian mansion at the bottom of Church Lane. The house was also later the
home of the Crowther family who owned the maltings on Station Road. The Marmavilla has more recently been run as the Marmaville public house, however a project is currently underway to develop the
building and grounds into luxury flats.
