The Wilts & Dorset Banking Company Ltd was founded in 1835 and did not open a branch in Plymouth until 1885. In 1888 they bought Harvey’s Hotel and the site was developed into new bank chambers. The Wilts & Dorset Bank was acquired by Lloyds Bank in 1914 and served as a bank for them up until the 1950’s.

We carried out all the structural repairs to this building which included repairs to a chimney stack on the rear elevation.

This chimney stack is built out of Bathstone and the repairs included general re-pointing along with re-capping the top and fixing new vent cowls.
