Arts & Crafts style in Leek

The façade of the Nat West Bank in Leek never interested me that much – but a book by George Noszlopy & Fiona Waterhouse drew my attention to it. Their book ‘Public Sculpture of Staffordshire & Black Country’ attempts to describe and give the history of nearly every significant piece of public art in the county. It’s a pretty impressive book, if you like that sort of thing, which, clearly, I do.

Anyway, apparently, the façade is a good example of Arts & Crafts-style architecture in the 1880s.
