At the end is the Holburne Museum, the former Sydney Hotel which has been used as a location for many films & tv series, most recently seen in Bridgerton as Lady Danburys house

Hauntings -
These townhouses are now separated into apartments and its in one of these that has experienced unexplained happenings for many years.
Focused on one of the bedrooms, alarming rapping has been heard on the door, also attempts to remove the bed clothes and most un nerving is that of an apparition of a man.
This man has been seen a few times apparently carrying bagpipes, but the sound of bagpipes playing has never been heard... or has it?
Another spirit has been spotted on the stairs where the sound of footsteps going up or down the stairs has also been heard.
Has anyone ever experienced anything here? or know of anyone that has?
It would be very interesting to know if the haunted house is one that one of the notable people above resided in?
