| Description: Four semi-clothed classical figures. Two on the ledge overlooking Baxtergate, two overlooking High Street. Listed Building Grade II Commission: York City and County Bank. (Messrs.Demaine and Brierley of York were the architects; Messrs. Anelay and Sons of Doncaster, the builders). Cost of the building was £10,000. Plans for the building are held at the Doncaster Archives, however these contain no information on the statues. Beside the bank, the building also incorporated offices on High Street for a stockbroker, R.E.Clark, who had previously occupied a building on the site, and a shop on Baxtergate, which was subsequently used by the Home and Colonial Tea Co. [1] Comment: In 1912 the bank amalgamated with the London Joint Stock Bank and in 1921 a further amalgamation created the London Joint City and Midland Bank, which soon became the Midland Bank. In the late 1990's this was taken over and became the HSBC. References: [1] e-mail from Helen Wallder at Doncaster Local Studies Library. (17th January 2003) |
