The National Westminster Bank was built of dressed stone with a slate roof in 1895, for the London and Yorkshire Bank Ltd. The façade is punctuated by octagonal colonnettes topped by little turrets. The gables are decorated by ball finials. The left doorway has an arch with highly decorated keystone and carved spandrels with shields, the left of which bears the coat of the City of London. The doorway the right has over it an oriel window, carved on the underside. The Yorkshire Bank to the left is a plainer building, but with a friendly arched canopy over the door and a bay window over it.
