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. Sources: Pevsner Architectural Guides; Liverpool by Joseph Sharples & The Little Book Of Liver Birds by David Cottrell Alan Maycock © 2007 View this page in high quality PDF format Walk 003 | Home Friends of Liverpool Monuments |
