| 説明 | A peaceful evening means it is an easier time to capture the Waterstone's building, which I think is a former bank.It was built in 1868 - 69 and was originally the head offices of the Midland Bank.It was designed in the classical style by Edward Holmes and an extension was added in 1875. It is a Grade II listed building.Thats a hut from one of the Christmas Market stalls.What is a coincidence is that the HSBC building is next to the former Midland Bank building (HSBC bought Midland Bank ages ago)1867-9, by Edward Holmes; extended towards Stephenson Place and Stephenson Street 1875. Stone. Two storeys; 3 bays. Ground floor with banded rustication, a central arched entrance within a porch with coupled granite Ionic column to the entablature which carries a balcony and 2 arched windows. First floor with coupled giant Corinthian order and with 3 window in frames with pilasters and entablature. Entablature with dentilled and bracketted cornice. Balustraded parapet. Excellent detailing throughout. Long return on Stephenson Place in a similar style, but the first floor order is not coupled. Good iron railings. Inside, a banking hall of 3 x 7 arched bays separated by giant composite Corinthianesque pilasters supporting a heavily coffered roof with central coved glazed part.Midland Bank - Waterstone's - Heritage GatewayIt used to be the Midland Bank International Division. |
