Background

History

The original block of 1862 was the "last great work" of Edward Walters, and the extension of the 1880s was undertaken by his successors Barker and Ellis. On 25 February 1952, it became a Grade II* listed building. It was occupied in 2001 by the Royal Bank of Scotland; they vacated in 2020 and the building underwent a restoration by owners Bruntwood before reopening in 2023 and being rebranded as 'Bond'.

Architecture

The bank is constructed in the Italian palazzo style. The original block has three storeys and seven bays, and the extension has four bays. It is built in ashlar, with slate roofs. The ground floors are rusticated with massive pilasters, and the piano nobile above has windows with substantial pediments. The roofline carries a balustrade with urns and chimneys. The interior contains a "very fine banking hall with columns and coffered ceiling". An extension of 1975 "palely follow(s) the nineteenth century rhythms."
