Description
The National Westminster Bank and Heritage Centre, located at Nos. 93 to 94 and Nos. 95 and 96 on Greendale Road in Port Sunlight, is a building originally constructed as four hostels for girls in 1896 by the architectural firm Maxwell and Tuke. The structure is made of brick and features a timber-framed canopy on the ground floor.
The first floor showcases a pargetted frieze with strapwork and decorative timbering, highlighted by jettied gables. The ground floor is adorned with sashed windows that include glazing bars, three-light canted bay windows, and elliptical-headed windows, which were originally entrances; only one remains as an entrance to the second bay, featuring a plank door. The first floor contains three small-paned casements, each with two lights per bay. There is an inserted cash-point in the bay window of the first bay.
The building has a cross-axial and gable-end stack, and the returns feature bow windows, with the right return having an inserted entrance. The stacks project with flanking half-canted oriels. The rear of the building includes large projections with rear blocks, one on the left with a hipped roof and the other on the right dating from the mid-20th century.
