National Westminster Bank

The National Westminster Bank, located at No. 63 on North Street in Keighley, is a bank building dating from the late 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a graduated grey slate roof. The building stands three storeys tall, with three bays facing North Street and seven bays along Russell Street, where the entrance bay turns the corner.

The North Street facade includes a plinth and rusticated pilasters flanking the openings. The ground-floor windows are segment-headed, complete with moulded cills and keystones. The first floor has square-headed windows, while the second floor features segment-headed windows set in eared architraves, flanked by giant Ionic pilasters that support archivolts and a corbelled, modillioned cornice. The building is topped with a fretted parapet.

The entrance bay, located at the left corner, is designed in a similar style and includes steps leading up to a round-headed doorway. This doorway is framed by an architrave with pilasters, consoles, a moulded segmental pediment, and decorative wrought-iron work that bears the words 'Bradford District Bank Limited'. Instead of a parapet, this bay has a blind, round-arched window within an architrave, featuring a moulded archivolt, keystone, and imposts, flanked by short panelled piers. The building also has corniced ridge stacks.

The left return on Russell Street is simpler, with one-and two-light windows in moulded surrounds, a band, cill bands, modillioned eaves, an angle pilaster on the first floor, and eaves that sweep on the corner. Inside, the bank features a panelled banking hall with a panelled counter and doorcase, as well as a moulded plaster ceiling.
