Former Lloyd's Bank, 1 Tuesday Market Place

This is a bank, built in 1928 to designs by Henry Munro Cautley. It occupies a corner position on Tuesday Market Place and Surrey Street, with a square plan. The rear extensions are not included as part of this listing. The building is constructed in the Baroque style, featuring Portland stone ashlar with stone dressings. The exterior has a chamfered corner entrance bay and two further bays providing street frontage. It incorporates a double-height ground floor and an attic concealed behind a parapet. The corner bay features a bolection moulded doorframe with a double-leaf panelled door. Above the door is a classical label embellished with a circular band of bayleaf, contained within a classical doorcase with attached round columns supporting Ionic capitals and a frieze inscribed “LLOYDS BANK.” A sculpture of a man and woman, draped in classical style, is set within a semi-circular niche of rusticated voussoirs, with a scrolled keystone. The man wears a helmet, the woman holds a torch representing enlightenment, and between them is a beehive symbolizing industrious activity, supported by a tablet inscribed "ESTABLISHED 1677". The symmetrical flanking bays have a moulded plinth and a frieze with "LLOYDS BANK LIMITED" in relief. Giant panelled pilasters support a modillion cornice and a frieze inscribed "LLOYDS BANK". Tall, metal-framed, multi-light windows have semicircular tops with circular glazing bars. The recessed window frames are decorated with bead-and-reel moulding and scrolled keystones with acanthus leaves, and the spandrels are filled with carved fruits and flowers in high relief. The attic bays are similarly defined with panelled pilasters and a moulded cornice, lit by multi-paned, metal-framed square windows in moulded stone frames; the corner bay window is larger than the others. Internally, the only surviving decorative feature is a dentilled cornice in the now open-plan, full-height banking hall.
