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.
