35 Shaw Heath was designated as Grade II listed
Link for the following principal reasons: (1) As a good representative example of a small, early C2O bank designed in a neo-Tudor, half timbered style giving a reassuring appearance of longevity and respectability; (2) The eye-catching exterior design differentiates the bank from the neighbouring properties whilst enlivening the streetscape; (3) The unassuming yet careful attention to detail and design which unifies the building's external appearance with the internal use of timber panelling and Tudor-arched stone fireplace in the banking Hall; (4) The building retains its design integrity as a bank despite a number of alterations.
#37 Shaw Heath was originally the Swan public house but for some time it has been home to AMS Pawnbrokers. Now both buildings are up for sale.
