Yorkshire Penny Bank - Scot Lane/High Street

Along High St past the Mansion House is Scot Lane, opposite. The rounded corner building on the left, which is now a restaurant, was originally the Doncaster Savings Bank.

It was built in 1843 with Denaby stone and designed by local architects Hurst and Moffatt.

The original corner building is three windows across. In 1895 it was acquired by the Yorkshire Penny Bank who added two extensions—one on Scot Lane in 1906 and another on High St in 1924. The latter work matches the original building.

Now we go to the other side of Scot Lane. Look closely at the upper floors and you will see this is a rounded corner. It is an early example and at this time they were often quite simple.
