Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank is a building located on the High Street in Lowestoft, dating from the late 18th century, with a facade added in the late 19th century. The structure is made of rendered and colorwashed brick, featuring an asbestos slate roof at the front and a natural slate roof at the rear. It has a double-pile plan and a two-storey facade divided into three bays. The building has rusticated quoins and a central door with six fielded panels, topped by a four-light overlight and a moulded surround. On either side of the door, there are horned plate-glass tripartite sashes within moulded architraves, and above these, there are dentilled hoods on scrolled consoles. The first floor is lit by three plate-glass horned sashes, with the outer ones set in projecting bays. A dentil eaves cornice runs below a parapet that features raised panels. The roof is gabled with internal gable-end stacks on both the north and south sides. The rear elevation includes ground-floor sashes and first-floor 20th-century casements, with internal gable-end stacks in the rear pile as well. Inside, there is a late 20th-century banking hall.
