Bank. Late C19. Sandstone ashlar on limestone plinth, with
slate roof.
Facade asymmetrical, of 3 storeys, with one window to the left
of the doorway and 2 to the right on the ground and first
floors, and 6 windows on the 2nd floor. On the ground floor
the windows are tripartite with fixed lights separated by
mullions with sunken panels, and on the 1st and 2nd floors
they are sashed without glazing bars in architraves with sill
bands. The 1st-floor windows have paired sashes separated by
mullions, and the lintels have incised decoration. The doorway
is flanked by pilasters. Above, a carved panel occupies the
full height of the 1st floor. A semicircular architrave
moulding encloses foliage and an inscription ('Lc Bc') and is
itself enclosed by pilasters supporting a moulded pediment
treated like a shaped gable, with a carved shell and foliage
decoration. Above the main cornice is a panel inscribed
'BANK', with pilasters, supporting volutes, a central
cartouche above a cornice, and antefixae to each side.
