Notes
Drawings 7 and 8 are similar in design except that the layout of desks varies as well as the position of the stair to the vault and of the water closet. Both have an entrance and windows different to those of drawings 5 and 6 which is seen in elevation on drawing 9. A comparison with survey drawing 3 (of the original front) shows that the shop front to the left is to be partly replaced by an entrance with side-lights while the two-bay ex-warehouse with its wide door is to have a raised five-light window.
The desk for 'Four Clerks' gives a clue as to how many were to be employed at this branch bank.
