Lloyds Bank, Victorian bank building on Corn Street, Bristol, England
The four-story stone structure displays ornate friezes, life-size figures, and Corinthian columns across its decorated facade at numbers 53 and 55 Corn Street.
Constructed between 1854 and 1858 as the West of England and South Wales Bank, the institution experienced financial collapse just twenty years after opening.
The first floor features statues representing justice, integrity, education, charity, peace, and commerce, while cherubs depict various banking operations above.
The Grade II listed building now operates as a 42-room boutique hotel and luxury spa facility in central Bristol.
The building's design draws direct architectural inspiration from Saint Mark's Library in Venice, incorporating regional crests of Newport, Bath, Bristol, Exeter, and Cardiff.
