85-93, WICKER

Nos. 85-93 on Wicker in Sheffield is a bank building, now used as a club and shops, dating from around 1895, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. The structure is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and features slate mansard roofs that have flat tops and cast-iron railings. It has two ridge stacks and two side wall coped brick stacks, designed in the French Renaissance Revival style. The building has rusticated quoins and a moulded eaves cornice, standing three storeys tall with attics and a nine-window range. Most windows are plain sashes.

The projecting central block contains three windows with crests, above which are three smaller windows. At the top, there is a scrolled broken pediment with a central dormer topped by a segmental pediment, flanked by small round windows with enriched surrounds. The ground floor features a central panelled double door with a fanlight, flanked by large single windows, all adorned with moulded segmental heads. On either side, there are narrow single entrance bays, each with a crested window on the first floor and a small oval dormer window above, also with an enriched surround. Below these, there is a door with a crest and an oval window above it, both with enriched surrounds. The lower side wings have two plain sashes on the upper floors, and above them, there is a broken pediment similar to that of the central block, featuring a pedimented dormer and an oval window. The ground floor has a late 20th-century shopfront with a fascia. The interior has not been inspected.
