Grosvenor Club and North and South Wales Bank
Grosvenor Club and North and South Wales Bank, Grade II listed clubhouse and bank building in Eastgate Street, Chester, England
Grosvenor Club and North and South Wales Bank is a three-story building on Eastgate Street in Chester with red sandstone on its ground level and brick with stone dressings on the upper floors. The roof is topped with green Westmorland slate and was originally built to serve both as a bank and a gentlemen's club.
The building was constructed between 1881 and 1883 by architects Douglas and Fordham, reflecting Victorian banking architecture of the era. An expansion in 1908 allowed both banking and club operations to function side by side.
The facade displays shields of former Welsh shires and the Grosvenor coat of arms, reflecting the regional connection to the North and South Wales Bank.
The building is located at 47-57 Eastgate Street and still houses financial institutions, though the original club section no longer serves its initial purpose. Visitors can appreciate the facade and roof details best from street level.
A gilded date of 1883 sits above the main windows alongside a canted oriel window and a spire topped with a lead finial. These architectural details distinguish this structure from other Victorian bank buildings.
