View of Lloyds Bank, 346 Strand, City of Westminster (also known as Iveresk House 1-5 Aldwych). A "Louis XV-Louis XVI" design on a steel frame, faced with Norwegian granite. Four storeys with two tiers of dormers in a steep mansard roof with a cupola dome over the Strand corner. Built on a triangular plot between The Strand, Wellington Street and the Aldwych by Mewes and Davis in 1906-7 as the offices of the Morning Post newspaper. Established in November 1772, the Morning Post's contributors during the first half century of its existence included poets Charles Lamb, William Wordsworth, and S. T. Coleridge. The newspaper was acquired by the Daily Telegraph in 1937. Later the building became the headquarters of the Equitable Life Insurance Company. The main entrance with sign: 'Lloyds Bank' and '346', has a female head keystone, with garland swags, and a balustrade above. Above, on the second and third floor are cast-iron balconies and bas relief decorations. On either side of the doorway, are signs for Lloyds Bank Limited, Aldwych Branch. The building is Grade II listed, number 1210080, and is now a hotel. Outside is an underground public convenience, and traffic lights. In the street is a Bedford lorry of Hyams and Cockerton, retailers in fruit and vegetables. A Bedford van has plants loaded on to the roof rack. Both of these vehicles may have come from the nearby Covent Garden market.
