Lloyds Bank

Lloyds Bank is a bank building dated 1897, originally constructed for the Halifax and Huddersfield Union Bank by the architectural firm Horsfall and Williams. It is built from ashlar sandstone and features a slate and glass roof. The building has offices on two floors flanking a full-height banking hall. The exterior includes a rusticated plinth and a moulded string course at the cill level. The entrance is marked by an eaved architrave in marble, topped with a console and ornate carvings of cherubs, alongside an oval window. This is flanked by paired columns made of polished red granite with Corinthian capitals, which rise from plinths adorned with lion head decorations. These columns support a pediment that encloses the Halifax arms along with the date 1897.

On either side of the entrance, there are narrow windows with oval windows above, and the central section of the building projects forward from two additional bays on either side. Each of these bays features a window with an eaved architrave and a pediment, along with festooned windows above, flanked by giant Corinthian pilasters. The parapet is decorated with the "holy face" and includes some balustrading.

The single-storey quadrants have one window each, with corresponding windows in the return elevations that connect to the side elevations. These side elevations feature a central pair of giant Corinthian pilasters and paired windows on either side, complete with eaved architraves and scroll pediments, as well as festooned windows above. There are additional bays on either side, each flanked by pilasters and featuring a single window with a festooned oval window above. The rear elevation is simpler, with two large triple windows and a large semi-circular window above to illuminate the banking hall.

Inside, the hall is adorned with ornate plasterwork by T Cordingley of Bradford. It includes four pedimented doorways on either side, situated between the giant Corinthian pilasters. The ceiling features a modillion cornice that meets a coved ceiling, supported by plastered iron ribs beneath the glass roof.
