The Bank building was built in 1913 on the site of some small shops including a hosier, fruit shop and a fishmongers.
It was built 200 yards further back to widen the centre and reduce congestion problems.
To the rear of the bank a arcade of shops were created which front onto Scotland Road and Leeds Road.
It contained an octagonal banking chamber lit by a glass dome in centre of a richly decorated ceiling.
Accessible from Scotland Road was five public rooms and access to the 50 foot clock tower.
The Salem Chapel can be seen on the left of the image and the borough Hotel is on the right.
By 2008 the Bank had changed to Barclays and then to Abby National.
