20, 21 And 22, Marlborough Place

This building, comprising numbers 20, 21, and 22 Marlborough Place, is a building society premises constructed in 1933 by John Leopold Denman for the Citizens Permanent Building Society. It is built of red brick in stretcher bond, with Portland stone dressings and a roof of pantiles.

The exterior presents a symmetrical facade of three storeys and an attic, arranged as a five-window range. Entrances are located in the outer bays, with three round-arched windows set between them, all faced in stone up to the arch's springing point. The entrances are in shallow porches with canted sides, panelled architraves, a moulded springing band, a ribbed blocking course, and a keystone featuring the building society's emblem. The windows are set within a concave-chamfered stone architrave, decorated at the springing and above with panels depicting the building trades in relief, carved by Joseph Cribb. They retain their original metal glazing bars, with one window brought forward as a small canted bay featuring sidelights and radiating glazing bars above. Deeper windows, likely leading to a staircase, are present in the outer bays of the first floor, featuring architraves and pediments supported on consoles, with recessed canted sides to the glazing. The second-floor windows are similar in style, with a sill band of recessed upright brickwork and projecting brick panels between. Original rainwater goods remain. A clock is housed within an ornate, bracketed wooden case positioned centrally above the first-floor windows. The building is topped with a stone cornice and a brick parapet with stone coping, swept up at the ends to fluted urns. Three hipped dormers are incorporated into the mansard roof, and side and ridge stacks are present.
