Lloyds Bank Building

The building is a bank, constructed in a loosely Edwardian Baroque style. It dates from the early 20th century and is built of red brick with Bath stone dressings, slate roofs, and brick stacks. The building is three storeys and has an attic, with two facades arranged around a curved, domed corner. The facades are two bays wide on Quay Street and two and a half bays wide on Wind Street, the latter being the more elaborate of the two. The ground floor is painted stucco, while the upper floors are red brick with ashlar window piers between the bays, and a flush band above the first floor. An ashlar dentil cornice sits above the second floor, interrupted by small curved pediments over each wall pier, and continued as a painted wooden eaves cornice in the second bays of each facade.

A distinctive attic feature sits at the corner, comprising a squat, leaded, octagonal dome between two gables of equal height, topped by a finial. The dome rises from a curved red brick parapet, a leaded octagonal drum (the sides of which insweep from the parapet), a timber cornice beneath the dome itself, and a knob finial. The gables are coped, with concave abutments mirroring the drum of the dome, and feature large tripartite lunettes with sills at parapet height, set within ashlar moulded architraves. The architraves are embellished with three sunburst keystones, the outer keystones being angled diagonally to the gable coping. In the next bay of each facade is a flat, small-paned dormer. The Wind Street facade has a smaller, semicircular attic feature, raised on ashlar piers, with a keyed roundel light.

The main floors have a mixed pattern of windows. The corner bay and the narrow outer bay of the Wind Street facade feature 12-pane sashes in moulded ashlar architraves with keystones and apron panels, executed in a Georgian style. The two bays of the Wind Street facade and the two bays of the Quay Street facade each have large, three-light mullioned windows with keystones; the central light is arch-headed, and the outer lights have top-lights. The Wind Street windows have 20th-century glazing in ashlar surrounds, whereas the Quay Street windows have a timber 20th-century replacement, likely substituting a timber original, within ashlar frames and keystones.

The ground floor is channelled painted stucco with raised piers, fascia, and cornice. It features semicircular pediments over the piers. Arched openings with keystones contain 20th-century plate glass windows; there are two windows in each of the larger bays, one in the Wind Street end bay, and an arched door in an ovolo-moulded surround to the corner. The door has an elaborate festooned keystone. Windows have aprons below, and all ground floor openings are linked by a string at roughly impost level, which extends down the jambs of the openings as a partial architrave.
