No 38, Castle Street is the present Midland Tapas & Wine Bar (and previously the HSBC bank). It is a c.1900 red brick building of 2-storeys and attic, with large central gabled dormer, slate roof, and brick end chimneys, with similar adjacent commercial building to right at no. 36.
The bank had two ground-floor entrances flanking a wide double width window separated by brick pilasters, with moulded fascia over. At first floor there was a typical bank manager's oriel window alongside a plain window. Some rennovation work took place when the Tapas and Wine Bar took occupancy.
