Petre Bank (2)
I had the advantage over Mike Kirby http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1474255 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1474275 of visiting the area on a day when there were no leaves on the trees. There is little to add to his descriptions except to say that in the early 1970s the Local Authority had proposed demolition, a decision only rescinded after strong opposition, but which also resulted in improvements including the addition of bathrooms being made.
