York County Savings Bank

The York County Savings Bank is a late 19th-century building located on Gowthorpe, constructed from red brick with ashlar dressings and featuring a pitched slate roof. It stands two storeys high with attics and includes a string course. The building has a polygonal angle turret that is corbelled out, adorned with transomed windows and topped with a conical roof and finial. On the first floor, there are two mullion-and-transomed windows on each side, while the ground floor features three round-arched windows per side, complete with moulded impost bands and hoodmoulds. Each side of the building has an attic gable, each with a crocketed finial and mullioned windows. The front door is topped by a pediment that displays a coat of arms and the words "Local Board Offices" in the tympanum.

This building served as a local board office, established in response to the Education Act of 1870. In 1902, the Education Act abolished the school boards and established new local education authorities. The office was eventually replaced and sold to become the Yorkshire County Savings Bank, which operated there until 1995. Since then, the building has been used for various bars and restaurants.
