Unless it's the Manchester & Liverpool Bank in Eagle St, now some kind of pensioner's club but I have no idea when that was built
 
Are all the buildings there made of the same materials, because that looks just like the building in Puzzle 10?
 
entwisi wins the location prize.

Willow wins the original use prize.

It is the former Manchester and Liverpool Bank building at the corner of Eagle Street and Cannon Street.

Any one care to try for the date?
 
I'll try 1885 - I have a feeling there's a date on the building but I did say I wasn't going out tomorrow.............

1878 or 1891 if we are guessing, Willow will get there before me so lets have another guess 1880 before I go.
 
Tried having a quick look this morning(at 6AM) whilst on my way to work. Couldn't see a date stone at first look. There are some stones on the cannon street facade with letters in them( Can't remember what they were now I'm at my desk). Anyone care to exapnd what they are?
 
He must be really busy working on a Christmas quiz with maybe a massive 50000 ackers as the prize.
 
There is considerable tangle of dates for this building, which will take me a few days to get sorted out - much delving into old maps etc. But I wil get to the bottom of it and I will let you know the result as soon as I can. In the meantime - keep guessing.
