Number 11 And Attached Railings

Number 11 is a house that has been converted into a bank, located in Park Square, Leeds. It was built in 1790 and designed by William Lawrance, with some restoration work done in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof, along with wrought-iron railings. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and has five first-floor windows arranged in a pattern of 2:1:2.

The central entrance has panelled doors and a fanlight, framed by an elegant wooden surround that mimics rusticated stonework, fluted attached columns, and a segmental open pediment. Beneath the pediment, there is stucco decoration featuring a lion rampant guardant within a wreath. The windows are fitted with sashes that have restored glazing bars, plain stone sills, and wedge lintels. The railings have pointed bud finials.

In 1839, the house was occupied by Peter Fairbairn, an engineer who later became the mayor of Leeds.
