Description


The following building shall be added:

GREAT WEST ROAD, BRENTFORD
TQ 1677
787-/19/10004 The National Westminster
Bank
GV II

Bank. 1935 by WFC Holden as the Osterley branch of the National
Provincial Bank. Brown brick with Portland stone dressings. Flat roof.
Single storey. Double-height banking office, bow-fronted to Great West
Road, flanked by lower wings, that to left with bow-fronted public
entrance on the return. Expressionist style. Bowed facade to road has
3 tall ladder windows with margin glazing separated by columns with
brick ribs which continue as moulded features in the stone-coped
parapet. Groups of similar full-height ribs form straight angles with
blind lower wings, each of which has a rainwater head and drainpipe
linking the design to a low stone-coped continuous plinth. On return,
bowed entrance with blind wings has central recessed doorway (later
C20 doors), flanked by recessed margin glazed ladder windows;
approached by bowed and shaped steps. Stone coped parapet and plinth.
Blind return of double-height office, with ribbed angles, rises
behind. Interior fitted out to late C20 requirements but retains
timber panelling to walls and piers. The bank was designed to form a
group with Sir Bannister Fletcher's Gillette Factory.
