Lloyds Bank

Lloyds Bank is an Italianate building dating from around 1840, which may incorporate parts of the former Crown Hotel, with some alterations made in 1930. The front is constructed of ashlar stone, while the sides are made of brick. It features a moulded cornice and blocking course, a dentil cornice, and a guilloche band. The building has rusticated end pilasters and stands three storeys tall with nine windows that have shouldered surrounds and carved aprons. The first-floor windows are topped with pediments linked by dentils and scrolls, and there are shouldered surrounds to the French windows, which have a continuous iron balcony supported by large brackets. The ground floor, altered in 1930, has eight round-headed windows with panels between them. To the left of the façade is a doorway with an open pediment on brackets, featuring a bank monogram above the keystone and an inset door. The mansard roof includes nine later flat attic windows and three tall stone stacks. This building is noted for being the first water cure establishment in England, following its introduction in 1842.
