National Westminster Bank

The National Westminster Bank is a bank building from the late 19th century, located on Wilmslow Road in Withington, Manchester. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a rectangular, single-storey banking hall designed in the Jacobean style. The facade is symmetrical and includes a moulded plinth, a moulded sill-band, and a drip-band that steps over the windows. Decorative elements include a ball-flower and dart frieze, as well as a pierced parapet with ornamented upstands and corbelled tourelles at the corners.

The central entrance boasts a basket-arched doorway that is sheltered by an elaborate porch, which has a corbelled-out shaped-gable canopy supported by two slender marble columns with foliated capitals. The gable is further adorned with corner tourelles and an intricate cartouche that reads "Manchester and County Bank Ltd." Flanking the entrance are three large cross-windows on each side, featuring slender shafts, two large arched lights below the transom, and four smaller arched lights above. The building is topped with a hipped roof that has tall coupled cylindrical chimneys along the ridge. The interior has not been inspected.
