Description
28, 30, and 32 Bank Street is a shop with an office above, built in the late 1870s, featuring an early 20th-century shopfront. The building is constructed of cream bricks with red brick dressings, and it has red sandstone string courses and gutter brackets. The slate roof is hipped to the left and not visible from the ground, with original cream brick ridge chimney stacks. The structure has three storeys and six bays, with a return of two bays that includes an angled corner bay.
The shopfront is divided into two parts by an off-centre blocked former door leading to the upper floor. The left part features a central panelled door in a canted recess beneath an open carved-wood elliptical arch, with flanking arched plate glass windows under panels of imitation heraldic coloured leaded glass. The right part has a doorway that is now glass-filled, beneath an oval leaded glass overlight, with windows similar to those on the left. An overall dentilled and bracketed wooden sign board wraps around the return, supported by pilasters.
Above, the sash windows in brick reveals have string course lintels and sill bands, with red brick relieving arches above. The second floor sash windows have segmental red brick arches. The left return, which faces Lowther Street, has small similar shop windows. The interiors have not been inspected.
