Former Parr's Bank, Castle Street, Liverpool
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 27 Jul 2011
During the second half of the C19th, Castle Street was colonised by banks and insurance companies, each trying to outdo the others "in the splendour of their offices". This striking facade of granite, grey and cream marble and red terracotta dressings dates from 1898-1901 and was the work of Richard Norman Shaw, with Willink & Thicknesse. Grade II* listed. It's currently Natwest Bank.
