So that’s it the doors are shut, cash machines boarded up and all signage removed. Please God this beautiful building will be retained as is.
Removal of things has revealed Lloyds Bank engraved windows. Hopefully I will be granted access to take photos of what’s worth saving (but might not get saved!).
Love the stone beehive carving high up (The original Lloyd’s trademark/logo).
News soon of a very exciting find in an empty JQ building but can’t reveal any more just yet.

I was just going to say that's the bank in front of the Spears factory in the other thread. Funnily enough that was one of the banks I did some work in.
