A FORMER bank in Gillingham has been named among the most captivating sites in the South West listed in 2020. Historic England, a public body that helps people care for, enjoy and celebrate England’s spectacular historic environment and its significant buildings, has listed a number of key locations and buildings. The historical group has rounded up its most captivating sites, ranging from health centres, coastal defences, monuments and high street buildings. The organisation declared the former Natwest bank, based on Station Road in Gillingham, a listed Grade II building, due to its design and architecture. The former bank was built in 1900-1902 to the designs of noted Bristol architect Sir George Oatley (1863-1950) for the Stuckey Banking Company Ltd, a major West Country bank.

Sites in Hatfield and Gorhambury near St Albans have been added to Historic England s list of protected sites.
The houses in Old Hatfield, and the Pondyards, join over 400 other locations added to the National Heritage List for England during 2020, released on December 16.
Old Hatfield s 1, 3 and 5 Park Street, near the Eight Bells and the Horse and Groom, had many uses over the years. It is most likely to have started as an inn in the mid-17th century, before it became a home, followed by shops and most recently offices in the late 20th century.
