Rosebank Gardens and the Tudor Hotel

Rosebank house was owned by Dyson Perrins (of Worcestershire Sauce fame). He gave the house and gardens to the Urban District Council who eventually demolished the old house in the early 1950s. The public gardens are now a beautiful oasis of green and flowers spoilt only by its proximity to the A449 Wells Road. The Tudor Hotel was used by Dr Gully from the 1840s as his Water Cure establishment. Although a popular hotel with a busy public bar in the 1970s (we nearly held our wedding reception there in 1976) it became a B&B for homeless people and has now been empty for some years with a suspicious fire a year back. It is a listed building and deserves better protection.
