Former National Westminster Bank, Grade II* listed bank building in Spring Gardens, Manchester, England.

The red sandstone structure features a corner tower with a cupola, Doric columns, and ornamental brackets along its grand exterior facade.

The building, designed by Charles Heathcote, opened in 1902 as Parr's Bank during Manchester's financial sector expansion in the Edwardian era.

The banking hall contains green marble walls and mahogany panels, representing the period when financial institutions displayed their status through lavish architecture.

Located at 1 York Street, the building now functions as Browns brasserie and bar while maintaining its original architectural elements.

Large plate glass windows with bronze fittings and stained glass panels were specifically designed to illuminate the banking hall with natural light.

Location: Manchester
