Former Yorkshire Bank

The former Yorkshire Bank, now a betting office with offices above, dates to 1884 and was designed by Isitt and Verity. The ground floor was altered in 1908 by Greenwood of Manchester, with further, slight alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings, largely rebuilt on the ground floor in Jurassic limestone, and has a green slate mansard roof. It occupies a trapeziform plan on an acutely-angled corner site and is in a Free Renaissance style.

The exterior is three storeys and an attic, with a prominent one-window corner and two-window returns. It features a granite plinth, channelled ashlar on the ground floor with a plain frieze and moulded cornice, and a very prominent coved eaves cornice with carved festoons of fruit, interrupted by attic gables at the corner and in the second bay of each return. The corner has a round-headed doorway flanked by enriched Ionic columns with prominent foliated consoles and a segmental canopy. The second bay of the Wallgate facade retains a large doorway with a carved sandstone surround, including a large oeil-de-boeuf overlight. Other ground-floor windows have plain 20th-century glazing. The featured corner has a bowed mullion-and-transom oriel at first floor with a balustraded parapet, a six-light mullion-and-transom window at second floor, and a two-light attic window within a gable with a swan-neck pediment bearing the monogram "1884," behind which is a pavilion roof. The right-hand return (to Wallgate) has a cross-window and a large canted oriel at first floor, mullion-and-transom windows at second floor and a two-light attic window within a gable with carved pediment. The left return has coupled windows in place of the oriel but is otherwise similar.

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey. The building makes an important contribution to the streetscape and is located near the Church of All Saints and in close proximity to the Bees Knees Public House and Nos. 12 to 20.
