GV II

Shop. Early C19. Calciferous sandstone ashlar, rusticated on the ground floor with broad Ionic pilasters above and cornice. Without roof or chimneys at the time of survey. Right panelled door and patterned overlight in prostyle Greek Doric porch with triglyph frieze. Round-headed sash windows in stone surround with voussoirs, that on left converted to a doorway but now a window again. Sash windows with glazing bars above in plain reveals. Left return wall on St Mary's Gate (covered by adjoining building until the creation of this new street in 1925) has been refaced in 1989 in a composite stone to match the ground-floor facade. INTERIOR not accessible at the time of survey. Some upper floor internal panelled shutters survive. Asquith's Survey of 1853 shows this building as the Carlisle and Cumberland Bank: as this company was formed in 1837, this could be the construction date of the building. For illustration see Journal of the North West Civic Trust, Spring 1985. (Journal of the North West Civic Trust: Spring 1985: P.26).
