Halifax
Dated 1897 - originally the Huddersfield and Halifax Union Bank. Designed by Horsforth and Williams in full-blown Victorian Baroque with Corinthian columns and pilasters, lions' heads either side of the entrance and cherubs over the top. Ornamental swags are everywhere. From the days when banks strove to impose themselves in the town to enhance public trust. Today they occupy an ever greater presence in our lives while their buildings are on course to all but disappear from our streets. Grade II listed.
