The Ulster Bank at 49 Main Street – one of the branches to have survived the banking crisis closures. Not a listed building but the official description contains this “Detached three-bay two-storey bank, built c.1900, aligned east-west to the south side of Main Street . . . . . . Valuation Revisions date the bank to c.1925, with a list entry recording a ‘bank house, office, yard and small garden’, occupied by the ‘Ulster Banking Company’, and valued at £80. This replaces an earlier entry dated 1896 on the same plot, describing a ‘licensed house, office, yard and small garden’, valued at £9. The OS map of 1857 shows a smaller building on the site, described as a 'house, office and small garden', occupied by Robert Percy”. Image shows the chimneys.
