Barclay's Bank

Barclay's Bank is a three-storey building with a four-window freestone facade, featuring a rusticated ground floor above a plinth. It has a slate roof, a bracket cornice, and a swagged entablature below the parapet, which includes a small central semicircular pediment with an emblem in a rope-moulded cartouche. The first floor has a bracket cornice with dentils and a plain entablature, along with a panelled band course above the ground floor. The bays are separated by panelled pilasters on the second floor and paired free-standing marble columns on the first and ground floors, which are positioned beneath advanced metopes. The first-floor columns have Corinthian capitals, while the ground floor columns feature plain capitals on high bases, with similar classical detailing on the impost bands and spandrels.

The second floor has paired sash windows, while the first floor features round-arched casement windows with keystones. The ground floor has round-arched openings with foliage keystones and similar impost details; however, modern windows with wave-moulded chamfers are present in the outer openings, with one opening blocked to the right and a large ten-panel door to the left.

The right side of the building is rendered, and the left side is constructed of stock brick. A modern extension at the rear and another extension to the right were under construction at the time of inspection in February 1986 and are not considered of special interest.
