This former branch of Lloyd's Bank, built in the 1920s was part designed by the son of the architect of The Liverpool Union Bank, almost opposite at 43 - 47 Bold Street. Separated by 35 years, this design is much plainer, white Portland stone with minimal decoration. The corner is flattened, containing one grand window with a faux balcony. Above this window is a Liver Bird medallion. At ground floor level, there is a highly decorative window panel, nautically themed and surmounted by the relief of Lloyd's prancing horse. Both are credited as being probably by Herbert Tyson Smith.
