Santander branch in Worcester
A branch of Santander in Worcester stands where the High Street (right) and St Swithuns Street (left) meet The Cross. As a result of the banking crisis in 2008 the Bank of Santander acquired a number of former building societies-cum-banks such as Abbey and in this case Alliance and Leicester. See:

55-58 High Street, Worcester
By Clare & Ross, 1903, for Messrs Woodwards (drapers?). Brick and terracotta, which is generally a good combo but do those colours go together?
Shops occupied at the time by Greggs and Superdrug.

59-60 High Street, Worcester
A successful punctuation mark in brick and terracotta. The copper dome has an impressive finial which goes on that bit further than one expects. Built as the Central Temperance Hotel in 1901-03 to the designs of Lewis Sheppard & Son. Grade II listed.
The shop looked empty at the time.
The banner was advertising the Worcester Foodie Festival.
