SOUTHWARK
TQ3276 CAMBERWELL CHURCH STREET 636-1/11/123 (South side) No.2
II
Bank, now offices. Late C19. Red brick with stone dressings, rusticated ground floor, and mansard roof of red tile. EXTERIOR: corner blocks with 2-window range to Camberwell Church Street, and 5-window range to return. 4-storey octagonal corner turret marking the main entrance of the building, otherwise 3 storeys with dormers. Subsidiary entrance in a single-storey block at the far end of the return. Strongly modelled brick stacks (one to main elevation and 3 to return), and a 2nd turret, with a conical tiled cap, at the south end of the return elevation. The 2nd-floor windows have stone architraves and are set beneath a bracketed cornice. First-floor windows surmounted by lavishly carved segmental pediments. The glazing to both floors (plate-glass sashes) is authentic. The arched windows of the ground floor are separated by pairs of Peterhead granite columns, which support a deep projecting cornice. Authentic and elaborately detailed double doors to main entrance are sheltered by a carved hooded doorcase with central cartouche. INTERIOR: not inspected. The stone cladding of the prominent, onion-domed corner turret contrasts with the red brick and tile of the upper storeys. This building makes the most of its prominent position facing Camberwell Green.
