Bank House, Swan Bank. Despite the seemingly obvious connections this building was not called Bank House because of its historical
  with finance, but because of its location in the area of Bilston known as Swan Bank. This 18th century town house was formerly the  
  home of William Baldwin an ironmonger and ancestor of Stanley Baldwin (1867 - 1947) the Prime Minister from 1923-24, 1924-29 and
  1935-37. In 1866 the building became the Dudley and West Bromwich Banking Company which then merged with Barclays in 1916.
  A plaque located on the building front commemorates the fact that the famous poet who wrote 'Drake's Drum',
  Sir Henry Newbolt (1862-1938) was born in Bilston. His father Revd. F. H. Newbolt was the vicar of St Mary's in Oxford Street, Bilston.
