The Co-operative Bank

The Co-operative Bank is a late Regency building, three stories tall and rectangular in shape, with a rendered and painted exterior and a Welsh slate roof. The front facing Commercial Street features three windows on each floor above a mid-20th century bank frontage with a black marble fascia. The first-floor windows are six over six sashes, while the upper floor has three over six sashes, all set in plain recesses. The building has eaves and a hipped roof.

On the Crane Street side, the ground floor continues the bank front, with two large projecting four-light display windows topped with tented lead roofs on the first floor. Above the right-hand display window, there are two three over six sashes. A large chimney stack is visible on the right-hand party wall. The building has group value with the adjoining terrace on Commercial Street and contributes to the townscape as a visual stop looking south along George Street.

The interior of the ground floor dates from around the 1960s and is contemporary with the shopfront.
