Losing them faster than pubs! - a photo on Flickriver

            The former NatWest bank on the corner of Newcastle Street and Westport Road (often referred to as Fountain Place because of the association with Enoch Wood's Fountain Place Works which sits across Pack Horse Lane to the right) in the "Mother Town" of the Potteries, Burslem.
Dating back to 1870 (estimated) and built for the District Bank, this branch, like many other bank branches, has been closed, for this branch that happened in 2017. 
District Bank Ltd dated back to the early 1800's and operated until aquired by National Provincial Bank in 1962. National Provincial Bank then merged with Westminster Bank and in 1970 became National Westminster Bank, which this building operated as a branch of until closure.
This fine building, althought slowly decaying, is grade II listed.
