Banwell's old fire station has had a change of use. In 1883 a Miss Fazakerley of Chorley in Lancashire came to the adjoining Banwell Abbey to recuperate from her health problems. Following her stay, she kindly funded the building of this station, a fire engine and the uniforms for the men in 1887. These days the station has been officially closed since the 1960s and has now become a museum of fire fighting.
