In 1908, the old 168 Shields Road branch of Lloyds Bank moved into an attractive new building across the road at number 167 Shields Road. This imposing three storey corner building, with an all stone façade complete with 2nd storey columns, still retains the name of the bank in the rainwater hopper attached to the Heaton Road elevation. In 2015, with the property having been empty for eight years following the closure of the bank, work began on the transformation of the building into 22 apartments.
