Lombard Chambers on the corner of Brown Street and Chancery Lane, 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 is Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1208211 Currently it appears to be home to a restaurant called "Burger & Lobster". Image Image
