This building in Old Market Place, Altrincham, was originally built for William Cunliffe Brooks in 1872, when he moved his banking business from 40 Church Street. The building by George Truefitt is in an Ambitious half-timbered style. The main banking hall with a 32 feet high stained glass window is flanked each side by a house, one for the manager and one for the assistant manager. Patterned tiled roofs and ornate Elizabethan style windows. Mouldings of Brooks’ crest and initials were retained when Lloyds took over the bank about 1900. It is listed Grade II and now houses a number of commercial units.
