Description
The premises occupied by The National Westminster Bank, located at 1 Long Street, date back to 1625 and were originally part of a single block of 16th to early 17th century structure, alongside Old Bank House on the left. The building features an early 19th century Gothic-Revival style façade, constructed from stucco with a pebble-dash plinth and a pierced parapet adorned with Gothic arcading. On the first floor, there is a small two-light window with four-centred heads. The right-hand ground floor window is a later addition, consisting of five lights arranged in three tiers, with a hoodmould above. The doorway has a four-centred moulded arch with decorative carving in the spandrels and a hoodmould. There are recesses for scrapers. At the back, a stone mullioned window appears to be part of the original ancient structure. This building, along with Mr. Pearson's Rose Cottage, the former Castle Hotel, The Bank House, Old Bank House, and Abbot's Litten, forms a group with the timber-framed structure behind No. 87 Cheap Street.
