Lloyd'S Bank

Lloyd’s Bank is a bank building dated 1884. It is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with stucco and terracotta dressings, and has a hipped slate roof with a lead-clad finial and gables. The building features brick axial stacks with diagonally-set shafts. The plan is rectangular, situated on a corner site with an entrance on the corner.

The south front has 2:1:2 bays, and the west end has 2 bays, both featuring moulded terracotta triangular gables with richly decorated tympana displaying terracotta floral designs and a wreath around a small bullseye window. Stucco string courses break forward between the bays. The windows on the ground and first floors are two-light mullion windows with transoms. The second-floor windows have four-centred arch lights. The first floor features moulded brick volutes to the architraves and a terracotta apron panel below. The corner entrance has fluted half columns, a round arch, and a polygonal oriel turret above, supported by a moulded corbel with a frieze of shields. The turret has mullion windows with stained glass, moulded strings, a cornice, a pierced balustrade with ball finials, and a slate spire.

The interior of the banking hall has late 20th-century partitions and a suspended ceiling. A staircase has moulded balusters and a wreathed handrail.
