#35 Shaw Heath (on the left) was built in 1912 as the premises of the Manchester and Liverpool District Banking Co. Ltd. to designs by Manchester architects Barker Ellis and Jones. It became known as The District Bank from 1924 when the company became District Bank Ltd, before becoming the Edgeley branch of the National Westminster Bank in 1970, after a merger. The building's banking role ceased in 1996 and it was subsequently in office use. In 2014 it was occupied by a firm that made commercial videos SJ8989 : 35 & 37 Shaw Heath.

35 Shaw Heath was designated as Grade II listed LinkExternal 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.
