Description
The Yorkshire Bank, located at 66 Banbury High Street, is a bank building constructed in 1864 by architect Lowe. It is made of painted brick and stucco and stands three storeys tall with a three-window range. The entrance, situated on the right, features a semi-circular keystoned head with pilasters on either side. The ground floor bays are separated by pilasters, and the windows also have semi-circular keystoned heads. Above, the first floor has three sash windows with horns and cambered heads, while the second floor contains three square-headed horned sashes. A cornice is present at the second floor, along with additional cornices on consoles beneath the parapet, which are topped with flared finials. The building has rusticated pilasters on the flanks. Originally, it served as a branch of the London and County Bank. The interior has not been inspected.
