North Lincolnshire Council has granted planning permission for a property at the back of The Retreat on Bigby Street (the former Prep School) to be changed to residential use, and has also approved an extension to an existing building at Thomas Bell & Sons Ltd, off Bigby Road.
A slight correction, old Nige.
ReplyDeleteIt's not 'at the back of The Retreat'....it is The Retreat.
Facing the old Prep School, The Retreat is down the narrow lane to it's right and is then on the right; its boundary butts onto the new Ancholme ?Gardens apartments' development.
If the Prep School School building does have a name, then surely it would be The Vicarage.....once being the vicarage for the local vicar and the Prep School did have strong church connections.
Just a thought.....could it be that The Retreat was originally the home of a curate?
