Carved lintel - corner of High Street and York Street

[Andrew]

Hi

This may be common knowledge - but I can't find an answer.

I've attached a photograph of the carved stone lintel above the door of the building on the corner of the High Street and York Street - now part of Lloyds Bank. What organisation/company does it represent?

The two obvious clues are the Sheffield coat of arms and "NP" or "PN". My immediate thought was the National Provincial Bank - but the specific Sheffield connection?

I am curious to know.

Thanks for all answers/suggestions.

1 to 9 York Street is a listed building on the British Listed Buildings site  https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254583-1-9-york-street-city-ward/photos/10987#.YVN1KHrTWdk

It seems to say it's  National Provincial. Look at the listing details tab above the picfure.

Hope this helps.
