Bank Buildings is a historical construction on a corner site at 1–7 Charing Cross, Birkenhead, Wirral, Merseyside, England. It consists of offices and shops which extend towards the north along Exmouth Street and towards the west along Grange Road West. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
The building was constructed in 1901 for the Bank of Liverpool. The part of the building on the corner was occupied by the bank and this was flanked by shops on both sides.[2] It was designed by the Chester architects Douglas and Minshull, and the corner building was later occupied by Martins Bank.[3] By the early 2000s the corner building was being used for offices and a shop, and the rest of the building continues to be occupied by other shops.[1]
