Lloyd's Bank

Lloyd's Bank is a large late 19th-century office block located at 1 Coniscliffe Road, which curves around the corner into Skinnergate. The building stands three storeys tall with an attic and features a total of 12 windows, arranged in alternating plain and gabled sections, some of which are two windows wide. It has a high-pitched roof made of graduated Lakeland slates and a conical spirelet on the canted corner bay. The structure is constructed of red brick with grey headers and is adorned with abundant terra-cotta dressings, including strings and an ornamented frieze, as well as balustrading on the corner bay. The four tall Dutch gables have scrolled buttresses and pediments, two of which are semi-circular. The dressings extend to the casement windows of varying sizes, some of which include transoms, and there are small balustraded balconies at the upper windows flanking the corner. On the ground floor, the two left bays feature a wide round-arched opening with a rusticated architrave and a doorway topped by a heavily bracketed hood under a scrolled pediment. The remaining ground floor windows have been modernized.
