Bank Hall

Post by Slimcreeper » Mon May 21, 2018 2:03 pm

Bank hall is a real place in Lancashire in the north of England. Much of what is listed below is based on cursory and generalized Wikipedia research, so input and advice is welcomed! I'm not interested in working up a map, per se, but the party will be doing some exploring.

Several carriages bear you from the station at Costen to Bank Hall. It is surrounded by rolling fields and formal English gardens in the poshest style. As it comes into view, only those of you accustomed to great wealth can keep your mouth from gaping. It is a 3 story brick mansion over 200 years old, with lovely architectural details and a clock tower rising 60 feet in the air. There are 2 concrete floral statues near the front porch twice as tall as a man, as well as a pair of stone lions. You are met by the butler, who greets you with flawless icy courtesy. As the groom takes the hall’s carriage and sends off the others, the footman and other help makes short work of bringing in the guests’ luggage. If they refuse the help, the staff’s cool and competent contempt will shift to shocked insult.

The party is brought into the two-story Grand Hall, with its sweeping grand staircase and led to a drawing room and provided with refreshments.

The aristocratic rooms of Bank Hall include:
  • The Great Hall. Two story, with a sweeping stairway leading up to a balcony and the private quarters of the aristocrats.
  • The Drawing Room, used for entertaining guests.
  • The Parlour, often used by ladies for entertaining in the evenings

This way more impressive than a conventional bank hall. It has all the luxury a rich man would want. No wonder people love visiting it. It a one stop shop for all your needs. I would definitely visit the place when I'm within the areas. Wonderful place to be. It has subterranean areas, aristocratic rooms, servant rooms, ground areas and numerous social amenities. One can barely use all the facilities exhaustively in a single day. Next time, I will visit the Bank Hall will all my friends and family plus a lot of money to spoil ourselves.
