Lombard Chambers

Lombard Chambers is all that remains of Brook's Bank, the original building which opened in 1868, continued through to King Street. William Cunliffe Brooks, MP for East Cheshire, was a very wealthy banker and commissioned George Truefitt to design a building worthy of his financial institution. It has some unusual architectural features such as the spiky metal cage at the top of the tower.
