Lloyds TSB

This building, a Lloyds TSB bank, was constructed in the late 19th century in a Jacobean/Domestic Revival style. It was built in two phases, resulting in its unusual layout. The ground floor is faced with pink Alveley sandstone ashlar, while the first floor is red brick with stone dressings, and the attic is timber-framed and rendered. It has two storeys and an attic, with seven bays on the ground floor, three bays on the first floor, and two in the attic.

The ground floor features doorways at either end; the right-hand doorway is blocked and now contains ATMs. The left doorway has a two-light ogee arched window above it, and the right doorway has a moulded bulls-eye window. Narrow bays flank these, framed by pilasters, with an arched window and a smaller plain window in the mezzanine, supported by carved brackets that also support the oriel above. Wider bays follow, containing three-light windows below and four-light windows above, all with stone mullions. The central bay mirrors the outer ones under the oriels. The first floor has three large, canted oriel windows, each with areas of brick on either side and four-light windows with a transom and arched head, featuring a carved apron. The attic floor has two large gables with applied timber framing and render. These gables project over the lower storey and are supported on large paired brackets ornamented with swags and grotesques between the oriels, and a stone beehive in low relief – the emblem of the founder bank. Each gable has paired three-light windows with leaded lights, a king post with herringbone struts above, bargeboards with strapwork decoration, spike finials, and leaded lights. Rainwater goods have castellated heads with foliate emblems. The roof is plain, with large, ornately detailed gable stacks.

The rear elevation has a scalloped tile-hung central gable with a hipped roof and small paned casement windows. A lower rear wing has been altered and has a concrete tile roof. The ground floor banking hall retains a 17th-century style strapwork ceiling, despite late 20th-century alterations.
