Title
Barclays Bank in Commercial Road
Description
Number 451 Commercial Road, Stepney, a branch of Barclays Bank, on the corner of Jamaica Street. There are columns at street level with windows and a door in-between. The upper two brick-built floors have sash windows with plaster surrounds. The first-floor front windows have a triangular pediment above. A telephone engineer is by the side door of his van and there is an orange and white stripe canopy on the pavement. This bank and the buildings next door no longer exist. Jamaica Street has been truncated and no longer joins with Commercial Road. Part of a high red brick external wall of Brayford Square, and a grassed area, now occupy the site. The block of flats under construction in what will become Summercourt Road, are part of the Exmouth Housing Estate, and were built across the site of what was Bermuda Street and a section of Jamaica Street. As well as terraced housing, The Anchor & Hope public house was demolished to free the site.
