Bank House, Ketley Bank

It is really only in Winter that the house can be seen fully, once the trees leaf the house is well hidden. This was once the home of William Reynolds (ironmaster) one of Shropshire's "giants" of the industrial revolution. He was the designer of the first "inclined plane" on the nearby Ketley canal.
