Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank is a mid-19th century building located in Oldbury. It is constructed of brick, with the ground floor stuccoed, and features a hipped slate roof. The building has three storeys. The facade facing Birmingham Street showcases chamfered rustication on the ground floor, which is topped with a modillion cornice. The upper storeys have chamfered quoins and a dentilled eaves cornice. On the ground floor, there are three 20th-century windows. The first-floor window consists of four sashed lights with moulded surrounds and a cornice supported by brackets. The central light is wider and topped with a pediment. The second-floor window is tripartite and features an architrave, with the sashed lights separated by quoin strips. The corner of the building is rounded. The left-hand bay of the Church Square elevation is designed similarly to the Birmingham Street facade, with upper sashed windows that have architraves, and the first-floor window features a pediment on brackets. To the right, there are three bays that are rendered and have 20th-century windows on the ground floor. The first-floor windows have bracketed lintels with cornices. A doorway is located at the corner between the two facades, and there is a chimney on the ridge between the first and second bays of the Church Square elevation.
