6, The Bank

No. 6 The Bank is a house that was later converted into two shops and a flat. It dates from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century shop front. The building is constructed of coursed squared hammer-dressed stone, featuring quoins and painted tooled ashlar dressings. The roof is made of stone slates, with a stone ridge and brick chimneys.

The structure has three storeys and a one-window range, with a two-storey, three-window range on the Newgate side. The elevation facing The Bank has a moulded plinth and an ashlar stall-riser supporting a full-width projecting shop front. This shop front includes foliage capitals on slender angle pilasters, and wood mullions and transoms for a four-light window beneath an entablature. Above this, there are painted stone surrounds to plain sash windows.

The roof is hipped on the left and gabled on the right, with stone coping resting on a moulded kneeler. There are ridge chimneys on the right and on the rear range. The left return to Newgate, which was previously a lane but is now exposed due to the demolition of a corner house, features steps leading up to the shop front on the right. This shop front has a central door recessed between plate-glass windows, flanked by slender pilasters and an entablature, with corner paterae. There is a blocked window to the left and a step up to an inserted door further left. The first floor has plain surrounds to three sash windows. The interior has not been inspected.
