Description
The Trustee Savings Bank, originally a girls' charity school, was built in 1860. It is constructed of brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings, featuring axial stacks and coped gables, and is designed in the Gothic Revival style. To the left of the front door is a single-storey schoolroom, while to the right is the schoolmistress' house, which includes a broad archway providing access to the back garden at the far right.
The doorway features a two-centre arch under a hoodmould, with a glazed tympanum divided into three sections by mullions. The central bay, flanked by buttresses, has a 7-light window with steeply pointed cusped lights beneath a continuous hoodmould, while the left-hand bay contains a similar 2-light window. The mistress' house has a gable and a gabled dormer above the side arch. The gable facade displays two lancet windows with hoodmoulds on the ground floor, separated by an engaged semi-octagonal pier that supports a semi-circular stone oriel on the first floor, which has three lights similar to those in the schoolroom.
This building was funded by Thomas Langton Birley of Carr Hill for the girls' charity school, which was originally established in 1760 at a different location.
