Lloyd's Bank

Lloyd's Bank is a building dated 1816, although it incorporates earlier elements and was remodeled in the late 19th century, likely around 1860. Originally, the Montgomeryshire Bank occupied the site of No 41 in the early 19th century. Following the death of one of its partners, Sir Arthur Owen of Glansevern, in 1816, Beck's Bank took over the site and likely constructed the existing building. Lloyd's Bank later acquired the premises and operated there until 1976. No 42 may have originally been built as a dwelling associated with the bank but was in commercial use by the late 19th century.

The exterior features stucco with a rusticated ground floor and lined out above, topped by a slate roof with end wall stacks. The building has three storeys and a five-window range, with three windows for No 41 and two for No 42. No 41 has a central doorway flanked by tripartite sash windows with segmentally arched heads and stressed voussoirs. There is a passage entry and doorway to No 42 next to each other, with a segmentally arched shop window to their right. The upper windows consist of 4-pane sashes on the first floor and 6-pane sashes below the eaves, all set within moulded architraves. A continuous sill band runs along the first floor, and the building is finished with a modillion eaves cornice and a blocking course.

This building is a fine example of an early 19th-century commercial and domestic structure.
