Yorkshire Bank

The Yorkshire Bank, located at 4 Duncan Street in Leeds, is a shop and office building that dates back to around 1904 and was designed by Percy Robinson for Messrs Hepworth. The building is constructed from terracotta by the Leeds Fireclay Company and features modelled panels by E Caldwell Spruce, with a slate roof.

It stands four storeys tall with attics and occupies a corner site, consisting of four bays with a narrower entrance bay on the left side facing Briggate, and a corner bay with three bays and a narrower entrance bay on the right side facing Duncan Street. The building is designed in the Baroque Revival style.

The ground floor has a later 20th-century bank entrance and windows, although it likely retains the original rusticated pilasters at the divisions between the bays, which extend up to the eaves level. The first and second floors feature canted bay windows set in round-arched recesses, while the third floor has paired attached columns and recessed sash windows. A round window is located at the corner, and there is a modillion eaves cornice along with an elaborate scrolled parapet. The building is adorned with round windows in ornate gables that flank an octagonal turret topped with ball finials and a dome, which is surmounted by a slender finial. Additionally, there is moulded decoration on the sill bands, spandrels, and around the windows, including swags, scrolls, plaques, and female figures.

The interior has not been inspected. A catalogue of photographs from the Leeds Fireclay Company's terracotta shows the original ground floor fenestration, which can be found in the Kirkstall Museum archive.
