I work at the HSBC Bank,
7 Westgate, Bridlington, and we have been researching the history of the
building.
We know that it was around
in the 1650's but we also know that a James Hebblethwaite took ownership
of it in the 1700's. The House was known locally as Hebblethwaite
House. I see from your website that there is a
Hebblethwaite Coat of Arms
in Bridlington Priory so I assume that it is the same family.
Any help of where they came
from & where they went to would be greatly appreciated. Little is known
of the history until 1802 when Messrs Thompson & Holtby founded a bank
in the building. |
