Since it was built in 1856-57, this Italianate styled building has housed a succession of banks. It was designed by Thomas Smith for the Stourbridge & Kidderminster Bank. It later came into the hands of the Midland Bank when they absorbed the Stourbridge & Kidderminster Bank long ago. Around 1957 it was doubled in size to the south, but in the same style as the original. In 1992 the bank had been fully acquired by HSBC Holdings plc and in 1999 this branch along with the other surviving Midland Bank branches were rebranded HSBC Bank.
