Description
Lloyds Bank, Bank House and No. 7 is a bank building, formerly known as Brooks Bank, constructed in 1872 by George Truefitt for Sir William Cunliffe Brooks. It is made of sandstone, featuring an ashlar ground floor and decorative timber-framed upper floors, topped with a clay tile roof. This impressive structure is designed in a Cheshire Vernacular style that takes advantage of the curve of the road.
The building is two storeys high with four bays, showcasing three unequal gables in bays one, three, and four. In bay two, there is a two-arched entrance porch with a balustrade and balcony above. Bays one and four feature three-light mullion and transom windows on the ground floor, while the first and attic floors have timber oriel windows in the gables, which are adorned with elaborate bressumers, barge boards, and finials. Bay three projects outward, displaying a larger gable and a two-storey segmental 11-light window with transoms on the upper floor. The building is also highlighted by Tudor-style moulded stone chimney stacks and an elaborate timber and lead bellcote.
