Albert Baldwin Bantock (1862–8 February 1938), served as Mayor of Wolverhampton for three terms.
Born in Wolverhampton in 1862, his father was Thomas Bantock, also a mayor of Wolverhampton, and he was educated at Tettenhall College before joining the family firm of Thomas Bantock & Co., coal and iron agents.
Bantock is credited with bringing several improvements to the town including the West Front gardens at St Peter's and changes to Queen Square.
Bantock was both a borough and a county magistrate, and in 1920 he was appointed High Sheriff of Staffordshire.
In his will he left the house and land to his wife on the understanding that on her death it would pass to the people of the town.
