Bank of England Building
Cockerell’s former Castle Street bank is a compact but imposing piece of Neoclassical architecture. Its giant Doric columns and pediment make an exterior stop worthwhile.

The columns tie two levels together, making a narrow frontage feel monumental. Look from across Castle Street to read the whole composition, then move closer to inspect the roughened stone and the return around the corner. It adds a different kind of commercial power to a waterfront architecture walk.
What to look for
Count the giant Doric columns beneath the pediment.
Notice the rusticated stone on the Castle Street return.
Useful to know
Step back on Castle Street to see the full facade.
Treat the building as an exterior stop; public interior access is unverified.
