The Bank of England claim (Lot 1235) lies 1100 metres southeast of the Phoenix pit (082ESE020), adjacent to Monarch (082ESE027) and Rawhide (082ESE026) to the north. Early work consists of an adit and shaft. In 1906, the claim was acquired by the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Company, Ltd and Crown granted to the company in 1907. In 1928, Pacific Tidewater Mines, Ltd. optioned the claim. In 1938, R. Forshaw shipped 3 tonnes of ore, yielding 31 grams of gold and 156 grams of silver.

Little is know of the showing. Mineralization likely consists of pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminations in sharpstone conglomerate, argillite and limestone of the Triassic Brooklyn Group. These rocks are underlain by chert and greenstone of the Upper Paleozoic Knob Hill Group.

See Phoenix for additional details on development, geology and mineralization in the area.
