HENFIELD THEN AND NOW

barclays bank - hawthorn veterinary practice - seasons

Picture
18th July 2025
This building was the original premises of Barclays Bank. The house on the left-hand side of the modern Bishops Close is "Holmwood", the house and surgery of Dr. Holt and Dr. Squire, respectively. Dr. Squire was the last user of the house as a surgery before the present Barclays Bank building was built on that site in 1967. There was a flat above the ground floor bank premises, which now houses the Hawthorn Veterinary Practice.

The left-hand side of the building has been dry cleaning business, originally JD Cleaners and now Seasons.

SHOPS 24

Barclays Bank ram raid 1-3: The Bank cash dispensing machine was robbed out around 2.30am on Sunday, 15th April 2018. These photos were taken later that morning. It looked like the work of a JCB, destroying the Easter cross, the Parish flowers and the bank wall.

Barclays Bank: Demolition and reconstruction work in progress on the bank in mid June 2018. The future of the bank in Henfield was in some doubt before the raid, which probably put the finish to its presence in the village.

SHOPS 25

Barclays Bank 1: Early July 2018 - a cleaned-up façade for the bank premises - which is a bank no longer.

Barclays Bank 2: Late July 2018, showing scaffolding erected around the building so that work could be carried out on the roof.
