Appointment for a St.Annes Man

Mr. Arthur Banister, son of the principal of the Grammar School for Boys, St. Annes, has received the appointment of Consul for the Republic Honduras, in Belize, a post which carries with it some £6OO or £7OO year in fees. Mr. Banister, who is spending a portion of a six months' holiday in St. Annes, will still retain the head mastership the Church of England Diocesan College at Belize, which he has held since 1901.

Note: the original article erroneously stated that Arthur was "son of the principal of Kilgrimol School, St Annes".

The building was converted into the Sandown Hotel, probably in the 1920s. From about 1960 until the 1990s it housed The Football League. In the late 1990s it was demolished and a retirement complex, Hardaker Court, was constructed on this and the adjoining site.
