Lloyd'S Bank

Lloyd's Bank is a town hall with a bank on the ground floor, built around 1860 by Smith and Son. It has been in use as a bank since 1872. The building features coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped with a Welsh slate roof, and is designed in the Gothic style.

The structure is two storeys high with three bays, and it has three lower storeys with seven bays on the returns. There are steps leading up to paired panelled doors with overlights, which are flanked and separated by shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. These support large, intricately moulded stone brackets and a hipped slated hood.

Above the entrance, there is a canted bay window that breaks into the hood, featuring three tall cusped lancets set within two-centred-arched surrounds. The side bays have flat two-centred-arched windows on the ground floor and cusped lancets above. The building is adorned with impost, floor and sill bands, as well as a cornice at the top.

The entrance bay is topped with a tall hipped roof that includes a slate-hung square tower and a pyramidal spire, all decorated with fish-scale bands. The left return mirrors the treatment of the cusped lancets in a long first-floor window within a canted two-storey projection, while the central full-height canted bay is plainer. Hipped roofs cover the canted bays, and there are coped ridge chimneys.
