Midland Bank

The Midland Bank is a bank building located on Mosley Street in Newcastle upon Tyne, constructed before 1890, with an entrance and left bays added in 1890 by W.L. Newcombe for the North British and Mercantile Assurance Company, designed in the style of the existing building. The structure is made of sandstone ashlar with a pink granite plinth and door surrounds, and it has a roof that is not visible.

The building stands four storeys tall and features five bays, with one narrow bay set back on the left. The central double door is framed by a granite surround and is topped with a panelled stone head and fanlight, all within a rusticated sandstone door case that has a coved round arch. Above this, there is a balcony supported by large leaf brackets, and the set-back bay contains a double door in an architrave with a pediment.

The windows are sash windows, with tripartite arrangements in the outer ground-floor bays, while the third floor has casement windows. All floors have architraves, which are lugged on the second and third floors. The first-floor windows feature shell ornamentation in their bracketed segmental pediments. Additional architectural details include a moulded plinth, projecting quoins, and guttae on the long brackets of the deep cornice. The first bay is plainer in design. The roof parapet is adorned with square balusters, and there is a central brick chimney.
