General notes:

Period: Inter-warConstruction date: 1933Notable features/significance: elaboration/high standard design of cement rendered surfacesDescription: This unusual, two-storey bank combines simple massing with applied decoration derived from Norman sources. The corner entrance is surrounded by a bold architrave in chevron-patterned render and the string course is fashioned to represent a corbel table. Apart from the panelling over the decorative parapet, the building remains in excellent, original condition.Sign: Wesptac
