1–3 Churchyard Side, Nantwich, Victorian bank building in Nantwich, England
1-3 Churchyard Side is a Victorian bank building located in Nantwich, England. Constructed from red brick with blue brick details and sandstone features, it displays an oriel window decorated with the coats of arms of Manchester and Liverpool.
The Manchester and Liverpool District Bank commissioned architect Alfred Waterhouse to design this building, which opened in June 1866. The construction coincided with the expansion of Nantwich as a financial center during the Victorian era.
The building represented the financial confidence of a thriving market town, where banks like this one stood as symbols of prosperity and stability. Its prominent location near the church shows how banking institutions positioned themselves at the heart of community life.
The building sits at the corner of Churchyard Side and Pepper Street and is easy to locate in the town center. The ground floor houses banking services, while upper levels contain office spaces accessible from a central entrance.
The structure was designed by one of England's most celebrated architects of his era, whose reputation extended across multiple continents. The selection of such a prominent designer reflected how seriously the bank valued its position in Nantwich.
