Midland Bank

The Midland Bank is a building designed in the Palazzo style, dating from the 19th century. It features ashlar stonework on the lower storey, with rendered walls above and slate roofs. The building is tall, standing three storeys high with a three-window range, and has a composite roof with hipped gables facing east, north, and south, along with a lower wing to the west.

The colonnaded lower storey faces High Street and is supported by engaged Tuscan columns that are coupled at either end, topped with a balustraded parapet. The entrance is located to the left and includes a lozenge-shaped overlight above panelled doors, while the banking hall is illuminated by wide windows. Each of the two upper floors features three 12-pane sash windows set within moulded architraves, complete with bracketed sills and panelled aprons on the second floor. The building has angle quoins and a painted modillion eaves cornice, which may be made of terracotta.

On the north-facing return elevation, there are two 12-pane sash windows, and a small full-height block projects at the junction with the rear wing, which is two storeys high with a basement and a two-window range. A doorway below the level of the ground floor windows replaces a former central window and is topped with an entablature hood supported by brackets. The lower windows, which were likely originally sashes, have been updated with new glazing, while tripartite sashes are present above.
