53 London Road North

53 London Road North is a bank likely built in the 1860s, designed in an Italianate style. The building is made of gault brick laid in Flemish bond, with limestone dressings, and features a hipped roof covered in slate.

The main façade faces London Road North and is three storeys high and three bays wide, highlighted by a projecting eaves cornice. The architectural details extend around to the first four bays of the north elevation along Surrey Street. The ground floor has a rusticated finish up to the springing points of the round arches that frame the window openings in each bay, which are filled with late 20th-century replacement glazing, an ATM, and a doorway. An early 21st-century fascia board wraps around the building beneath the first-floor plat band. On the first floor, there are two-over-two sash windows with prominent Italianate surrounds and cornices supported on consoles. The second-floor windows, also two-over-two sashes, have more understated surrounds and feature panelled stone aprons beneath the sills.

At the rear, there is a five-bay extension from the 1980s that matches the floor heights of the main building and continues the use of brick and stone.
