Former National Westminster Bank Parade Chambers

The former National Westminster Bank, now shops and offices, was built in 1884 and altered in the late 20th century. Designed by ME Hadfield & Son, it is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and slate roofs topped with lead spires. Three clustered brick side wall stacks rise above the building, and feature four octagonal flues. The building is an example of Tudor Gothic Revival architecture.

The exterior features a plinth, string courses, a corbel table with gargoyles, coped gables with finials. It has four and five storeys plus attics, and displays a three-by-three window arrangement. The windows are primarily stone cross-mullioned casements with round-headed lights. The front facing High Street has a double gabled design. To the left is a three-storey oriel window with three lights on each floor, a crenellated parapet, and an ornate finial to a spire. The right gable has two three-storey canted bay windows with crenellated parapets, each floor featuring a three-light window with sidelights. Above this is a seven-light window with a central traceried blank panel and a label mould, and above that, a small three-light window. The left gable features four floors, each with a four-light window containing a traceried central blank panel, the uppermost window having a label mould. Above that is a small three-light window. The ground floor contains five flat-headed openings with chamfered piers, an off-centre door, and four single-pane windows. The west front, facing East Parade, features a near-central, four-stage canted bay window topped with an ornate spire. It has a single window on each floor and a crenellated parapet. To the right is a double-gabled block with three windows; further right is a three-stage canted bay window with a crenellated parapet. Each floor has a three-light window with sidelights, above which is a three-light window with a hoodmould. To the right of this is a two-light window on the first floor. A tall central recess on the left gable contains a four-light window to the first floor, above which is a dated panel with relief portraits. Above this are an eight-pane transomed window and a similar twelve-pane window, separated by a decorated frieze, and above them, a three-light transomed window. To the left is a three-window block with a crenellated parapet; on each floor are two two-light windows and a single transomed window to their left. The ground floor has an elaborately moulded central entrance with a hood on scroll brackets, a single flat-headed window to its right, and two flat-headed openings containing 20th-century shop windows. To the left is a moulded elliptical arch with a recessed 20th-century shop window, flanked to the left by a pointed arched doorway with a mullioned overlight. The interior was not inspected.
