💷 🏧 💳 Bank House - former Bank of England regional headquarters
📍 Leeds, England, UK
👷‍♀️ Building Design Partnership (BDP) 🏗️
📆 1969-71
⭐️ Grade II listed

A formidable late-modernist landmark, Bank House is one of the most dramatic banking buildings of post-war Britain.

Designed as an inverted ziggurat, its upper floors progressively project outwards, giving the building its extraordinary fortress-like presence while allowing similar levels of natural light to each floor.

Constructed in reinforced concrete and clad in polished Cornish granite with bronze detailing, it was purpose-built as the Leeds regional headquarters and bullion centre of the Bank of England.

There’s also an interesting chunk of abandoned urban planning here.

The first-floor deck was constructed to connect with Leeds’ proposed elevated pedestrian walkway network - separating pedestrians from traffic in a manner being explored in cities across Britain. The wider system was never completed.

Historic England describes Bank House as the most architecturally ambitious and accomplished example of the Bank of England’s 1960s programme of rebuilding its regional branches and bullion centres.

And now the building is undergoing another major transformation.

Developer @rushbondplc, working with @fusestudiosltd , is refurbishing around 90,000 sq ft as high-grade offices while retaining and restoring the listed structure.

A new multi-level atrium is being created, the Cornish granite exterior restored and a roof-level business lounge and terrace added.

Best of all, the old bank vaults survive.

The lower-ground vaults are being transformed into an auditorium, with those above becoming meeting rooms.

Rather than demolishing an ageing office building, Bank House is being adapted again. Its owners estimate that retaining the existing structure saves more than 3,700 tonnes of CO₂ compared with an equivalent new build.

Completion is expected in 2027.

A much-loved Leeds mural has been carefully restored to its former glory 🖌️

The 32 feet high Cornucopia mural near Leeds Corn Exchange has been restored for future generations to enjoy.

The mural depicts the goddess Cornucopia alongside the Leeds Corn Exchange and a series of architectural and harvest-inspired motifs that reflect the city’s history.

Cornucopia, which was first unveiled in 1990, has been meticulously restored by local artist Ralph Replete, who carefully hand-cleaned the mural and retouched it using the same specialist paint used by the mural’s original artist, Graeme Wilson.

The restoration of the Cornucopia mural has been supported by the council and funded @rushbondplc in partnership with @leedscivictrust.

It comes during the city’s Leeds 400 celebrations, which mark 400 years since Leeds received its royal charter.

Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for economy, said:

“It’s fabulous to see this beautiful and much-loved public artwork back to its best and we’re proud to have worked with our partners to ensure future generations can enjoy what is a unique and colourful tribute to the city’s past.

“Public art plays an integral role in enriching our urban landscape and telling the city’s story, and as we celebrate Leeds 400 this year, there can be no better time to reflect on the many stunning creations which are such a key part of our cultural heritage.”

You can see the mural for yourself near Leeds Corn Exchange.

📣Leeds Civic Trust & Rushbond PLC support the restoration of iconic Cornucopia mural

🎨 The Cornucopia mural near Leeds Corn Exchange has been carefully restored back to its former glory, conserving one of the city’s most recognisable and loved public artworks for future generations to enjoy.

💰The restoration of Cornucopia has been funded by Leeds Civic Trust and Rushbond PLC, who own the Leeds Corn Exchange and supported by Leeds City Council.

🦉 Cornucopia stands at 32 feet tall and has been a popular landmark in Leeds city centre since its unveiling in 1990. It depicts the goddess Cornucopia, a symbol of abundance and prosperity, alongside the Leeds Corn Exchange, which was originally built as a trading hub for local grain merchants, millers, and agricultural traders.

🖌️The restoration work has been done by local artist Ralph Replete, who hand-cleaned the mural to remove decades of accumulated decay without damaging the original paintwork. The artwork was then sympathetically retouched using the same specialist paint used by the original artist, the late Graeme Willson.

💬Director of Leeds Civic Trust Martin Hamilton said “This artwork is an important part of Leeds's visual heritage and occupies a significant position within the city's historic commercial core. We are pleased to help ensure its future and honour the wishes of its creator, Graeme Willson, who very much wanted to see the mural restored."

💬Jonathan Maud, Chairman of Rushbond, said: ‘Cornucopia’ was a wonderful gift to the city from the former owners of Leeds Corn Exchange, and it deserved to be given a respectful refresh. Thanks to our incredible partners, including the team at Blue Rinse who were most accommodating in giving us access to the mural, and the meticulous work of Ralph Replete, everyone can once again enjoy this beautiful work of public art. ‘Cornucopia’ is an important part of Leeds’s cultural heritage and I’m delighted that the many thousands of people who come to Leeds Corn Exchange and Kirkgate every year will once again be greeted by a cultural landmark that reflects both the area’s independent, commercial, creative identity and the true spirit of Leeds.”
