The Old Penny Bank

The Old Penny Bank is a building that dates back to around 1870 and is now used as offices. Originally a penny bank, it is a rare example of one of the earliest working-class savings institutions. The building is constructed of brick and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with shallow pitches. There is a central brick ridge stack that has been altered in the 20th century, with mouldings to the corbelled band.

The structure is T-shaped and consists of a single storey with a two-window range. The windows are paired two-light casements with elliptical heads, set beneath moulded stucco architraves on pilasters. The corners of the building are accentuated by brick corner-pilasters with corbelled eaves. The returned sides of the building have 20th-century casements set in stucco panels.

Entrances are located at the angles of the wings, featuring six-panel doors beneath gauged brick flat arches. These doors are set in open porches, which have single arches at the front and paired arches on the sides, topped with a cornice. The gables of the wings have twin two-light casements, with bands and additional 20th-century two-light casements above, along with corner pilasters. The interior has not been inspected.
