Lloyds Bank (closed), Woolston - 9 June 2020

Lloyds Bank (closed), 1 Victoria Road, Woolston, Southampton.

In viewing this, another closed bank, it occurred to me that the salvation of areas like this, left without a bank after this closure, might lie in the operation by banks of more utilitarian, less ostentatious buildings. On the corner of Victoria Road and Portsmouth Road, this is a grand building indeed but, like so many other closed banks, it stands empty more than two years after its closure on 5 March 2018.
