Description
Barclays Bank is a bank building constructed around 1905 by architects Grayson and Ould. It is built from brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has three storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a canted entrance bay that culminates in an octagonal turret. The ground floor displays channelled rustication, while the first floor features sill and lintel courses and banded gables. The corners are accentuated with flush quoins.
The end bay includes an Ionic pilastrade with a round-headed window, flanked by windows that have fielded panels above. The round-headed entrance is framed by an Ionic aedicule with rusticated pilasters and an open pediment, with a round-headed window to the left. Above the entrance, there are round-headed windows adorned with a Lombard frieze. The end bay also features a window with an eared architrave set in an elliptical-headed recess, which has flush quoins. Additionally, the end bay has a canted oriel window with flanking lights and a Dutch gable above. The turret is topped with a pyramidal roof and a cupola that has round-headed openings and an ogival roof. The left return of the building is similar, with a buttress supporting a two-storey oriel window.
