The northern side of Image Built c 1837 by John and Benjamin Green for Richard Grainger.

This large bank occupies the corner of Grey Street and Market Street (the one with the bus). It is one of the oldest buildings on Grey Street, dating to 1839. It has always been a bank, although there have been several different ones. Although the exterior is little changed, the interior had a radical rebuild in the late 20th century.
