46-48 Brown Street, Manchester
A grand little building tucked away and overshadowed by its weightier neighbours. Built of a lovely stone with fine carvings (by Williams & Mooney) and a semi-circular oriel topped by a wrought-iron crown (Image]). By George Truefitt, 1868, for Brook's Bank. Grade II listed.
I think it was empty at the time of the photo.

Lombard Chambers
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".
