| After 1927 this lovely garden area was filled in with a police station and an adjacent magistrates court. Both have since been closed and demolished and the area is open again, but not as attractive as it was in 1927. |

sparrow park as it was known as locally was paved over in the 80s to house the market which used to be held where waitrose is now.the police station is the building next door built in 1900.this has since been demolished and flats have been built on the site.they look like KGB headquarters |

| Bank Square, although there is a cluster of Banks here the name predates them and refers to the river bank and the land sloping down from where the railway station is to the right to the river to the left. |

The sale to Santander fell through. The sale of the English branches of RBS to somebody remains a commitment. |
