Liverpool Savings Bank (North Branch), Scotland Road, Vauxhall

Top: 2019
Bottom: 2022

Liverpool Savings Bank (North Branch) built 1882 with its rounded tower marks the junction of Newsham Street.

I've added the 2019 photo as a comparison following the demolition of the row of shops which used to continue off toward Kew Street. The bank has been closed for many years while some of the shop units tried to continue on. I can only recall the corner building fronting Kew Street being a butchers but some other commentators elsewhere remember a post office here too. The row of shops had sadly fallen into a poor state of repair. You can see in 2019 the roof of the unit next to the bank had gone. On streetview, most of the frontage had given way. The shops were finally being knocked down in October 2022. You can see the old entrance to the bank has its shutters open. There was work being completed inside when I walked past so it may be a case of "watch this space" to see what happens next. Hopefully the bank will find a new use which includes rebuilding something on the now vacant land.

I hadn't appreciated that St Anthony's churchyard had expanded to include a frontage onto Newsham Street. This used to be the site of the Newsham House Pub. InacityLiving has an image from roughly the same spot here:
