Preston NatWest left vacant after bank leaves prominent Fishergate building
A prominent building on Preston’s main shopping street has been left vacant after a historic bank moved from its long-term base in the city.
The bank’s history on the thoroughfare can be traced back to the mid-19th century and its relocation will result in a prime unit standing empty – at least for now – just a few hundred yards from the former British Home Stores building, which has been unoccupied since they folded in 2016. The changes will include the removal of the external cash machines at the now defunct branch. The very literal ‘holes in the wall’ that will be left behind by that work will be filled and a granite finish applied to match the existing frontage – as will be the case following the removal of a night safe covering.
The Lancaster Banking Company Limited – a distant forerunner to the modern-day Natwest – opened a Fishergate branch in 1844, although the Local Democracy Reporting Service has been unable to confirm whether it was in the same location as the now vacated building at number 35.
