We're excited to bring our plans to life, transforming this historic jewel into a hybrid mix of work, social and restaurant space. Fit for the city it belongs to.

Worked in this gorgeous building from 1959-1962. Beautiful.

A superb video. Liverpool has such a rich architectural heritage parts of which, rather surprisingly, are shared with the Chinese metropolis that is Shanghai. Many years ago I was lucky enough to live and work in Shanghai. I soon realised that the historic buildings on its riverfront ('The Bund') were eerily similar to those I had seen in Liverpool. The reason was simple. The architects that were responsible for many of Liverpool's greatest civic and commercial buildings (Palmer & Turner) had sold the blueprints to their designs to local developers in Shanghai which in the 1920's was fast becoming one of the world's major financial centres. So, it's possible that the Martins Bank Building in Liverpool has a doppleganger in the Far East. If anyone wants to try and find it let me know. I would love a trip back to what is an extraordinary city...once they have sorted out their Covid crisis, of course!

Nice video tour, be nice as a former Martins Bank staff member to have an actual physical view and take a few photographs (well more than a few) I started my employment in this building and it has memories. Here is wishing.

Kinrise should send their roller skaters around the corner to the Bank of England building in Castle Street.

I'm just curious, where is the relief sculpture, you know, the one of the two African boys fettered about the neck and ankles holding bags of money, symbolizing how the bank helped finance the slave trade, and how so many people got rich from it, except the slaves of course, I'm also curious if the black people dancing around this video are even aware of it.🤔
