I suppose its possible it was "old bank house" and therefore was at some stage a bank but the name seems to be recently highlighted by Yorkshire Repairs who only seem to have been operating out of the premises for 5-6years. Previously operating out of the premises were Mathers as street furniture installer

From Google Books it seems as if it was the Midland Bank

Fro the 1908 Directory it was London City & Midland Bank. The street numbering is different, but it's nice having a pub next door to help get your bearings
