Silver Street/Hall Gate corner building

The third building is on the corner of Hall Gate and Silver St. Originally constructed in 1912-13 for the Prudential Assurance Co and designed by Paul Waterhouse. He was the son of Alfred Waterhouse a famous Victorian architect renowned for designing the Natural History Museum in London. It is mainly built  of brick with a fine stone rounded corner, which unfortunately has lost its original pillared entrance as a result of conversion to shops on the ground floor. An interesting building.
