Extension to “Old Bank,” Blackburn

Mr Truefitt has erected a new room in the yard at the “Old Bank,” Blackburn, where there is a lean-to roof in the trussing of which a perforated leaf work pattern is introduced. This room is, we believe, the work for which Mr Ruskin was said to have been applied to for designs; but the completion without his assistance seems to show that the original arrangement was not carried out.
