On the right is the splendid facade of the old Northamptonshire Union Bank, which became the National Provincial Bank and today is Nat West.
A former Governor of the Bank of England, he commissioned the bank's architect Sir John Soane to produce this superb monument.
This well-ordered scene is typical of the high quality ambience of the suburb as a whole, and well anticipated by the Midland Bank with its impressive, yet restrained, neo-classical frontage, exactly as
