taken 13 years ago, near to Seacombe, Wirral, England
Former Adelphi Bank, Castle Street, Liverpool
During the second half of the C19th, Castle Street was colonised by banks and insurance companies, each trying to outdo the others "in the splendour of their offices". This stunning affair of c1891 was designed by W.D. Caröe. Pevsner describes the style as Northern Renaissance. Very elaborate, with bands of red and white stone (SJ3490 : Detail of former Adelphi Bank, Castle Street, Liverpool), the roof embellished with copper onion domes and a panoply of finials. Grade II* listed.
The ground floor housed a branch of coffee house, Caffè Nero.
