Conversion

Grade A-listed former Bank of Scotland office from 1870 in Italian Renaissance style. It has been splendidly reused as a Wetherspoon's with a magnificent spacious former banking hall containing a glazed dome and 16 caryatids. It has a number of small rooms, and the old bank safes are still to be seen. Wide selection of ales, ciders and meals.
