Underbank Hall, Historic bank building in Stockport, England
Description
Underbank Hall is a townhouse with a Tudor front facade featuring timber framing and 15th-century architectural details, now functioning as a NatWest bank branch in Stockport. Inside, the original high ceilings and period skylight remain alongside the banking hall that was added in 1919.
History
The house was built as a residence in the 15th century and belonged to the Arden family of Bredbury until 1823. William Arden, Second Baron Alvanley, sold it to settle his debts, and it was later adapted for banking use.
Culture
The building shows how residential homes changed their purpose over time when banking operations were added in 1919 to serve the community's financial needs. You can still see the original character of the house as you walk through the bank's spaces.
Practical
The building is located in central Stockport and is easy to reach on foot, with access to standard banking services on weekdays. The historical interior is visible during a bank visit, though some areas are arranged for modern banking operations.
Did you know?
The original interior design combines a rare mix of Tudor elements with modern banking operations under the same roof. Visitors often overlook how the old high ceilings and skylight coexist with the daily banking activity.
