Extant Building
Boxed shaped 1930s Telephone Exchange and former Barclays Bank. Representative of a style and period of commercial architecture of increasing rarity and interest. The ground floor of the bank has been altered. The boundary walls, doors and steel windows of the Telephone Exchange survive. The large 1960s extension to the rear is intrusive.
