Former Bank the Market Place

The former bank, known as Bromley House, is located in the Market Place of Heanor and was built around 1890, likely by architect A N Bromley. The building is constructed of red brick with gauged brick and stone dressings, sitting on a rock-faced stone plinth. It features Westmorland slate roofs and large brick ridge stacks. The structure has two storeys with attics and consists of four bays.

The left side of the façade includes a semi-circular headed doorcase, which is adorned with alternating gauged brick and stone voussoirs and a moulded console keystone. This arch is supported by paired Ionic pilaster corbels. To the right of the entrance, there are three four-pane sash windows set in chamfered ashlar surrounds, with corbelled cut Ionic pilasters between, made of alternating brick and stone bands. Above these windows is a 20th-century fascia, and below them are three chamfered ashlar cross windows, each situated beneath segmental arches of alternating gauged brick and stone voussoirs, with raised panels within the arches. Pilasters rise from the ground floor between the windows.

On the left side, there is a projecting oriel window featuring an ashlar mullioned and transomed window, with a four-light window above and a three-light window below, highlighted by a wide semi-circular headed central light. A continuous sill stringcourse and dripmould run along the window. Above this is a moulded cornice and a large, partly stepped, shaped gable that spans the full width of the building, interrupted on the left by an advanced bay with a four-light mullion window flanked by Ionic pilasters, topped by a very tall pyramidal roof. The centre of the gable features two similar cross windows to those below, flanked by pilasters that continue from the lower level. At the top of the gable, there is a cartouche inscribed with 'NJSB', flanked by iron tie heads, and a small segmental pediment. The initials 'NJSB' stand for Nottingham Joint Stock Bank.
