Former Barclays Bank

The building is a former bank, dating to circa 1900. It is constructed mainly of brick, with a facade of ashlar limestone, rusticated to the ground floor and featuring polished granite dressings. The style is Free Jacobean Renaissance. It is three storeys high and displays an almost symmetrical three-bay front. The ground floor is under a cornice supported by a granite pilaster and two Ionic columns. It contains two large windows with glazing bars and a doorway projecting to the line of the cornice, all set within round-headed arches with raised voussoirs.

The first floor features bowed oriels to the side bays, with plate glass horned sash windows, separated from the central window by Corinthian pilasters. The central window is deeply recessed under a segmental pediment. Above this is a second floor with sash windows under pediments on console brackets. A balustraded parapet tops the building, with the central bay raised to accommodate two round-headed attic windows beneath a segmental pediment. Brick stacks are also present.

Inside, the banking hall features a ribbed ceiling and a modillion cornice. To the rear and at a higher level are six windows with Art Nouveau patterned glass, divided by squat Composite piers.
