Former Midland Bank

The Former Midland Bank is a bank building from the late 19th century, constructed with sandstone ashlar on a limestone plinth and topped with a slate roof. The facade is asymmetrical and features three storeys. On the ground floor, there is one window to the left of the doorway and two to the right, while the second floor has six windows. The ground floor windows are tripartite, with fixed lights separated by mullions and sunken panels. The first and second floor windows are sashed without glazing bars, set within architraves that have sill bands. The first-floor windows consist of paired sashes separated by mullions, with incised decoration on the lintels. The doorway is flanked by pilasters, and above it, a carved panel extends the full height of the first floor. This panel features a semicircular architrave moulding that encloses foliage and an inscription ('Lc Bc'), surrounded by pilasters that support a moulded pediment resembling a shaped gable, adorned with a carved shell and foliage decoration. Above the main cornice, there is a panel inscribed with the word 'BANK', which is supported by pilasters and features volutes, a central cartouche above a cornice, and antefixae on either side.
