Yorkshire Penny Bank

The Yorkshire Penny Bank Building in Bradford was built in 1895, Architect - James Ledingham In 1959, Yorkshire Penny Bank changed its name to the Yorkshire Bank. In 1990 the Yorkshire bank was taken over by the National Australia Bank. I could not find out when it closed as a bank, it is currently used as a pub/night club.

Lovely building - it reminds me of some of the buildings on corners in Dunedin NZ.
