Worcester City and County Bank, The Cross, Worcester  1862

From the late 1850's William Forsyth worked with architect Edmund Wallace Elmslie on several major projects, mainly based in Malvern ( where Elmslie had been appointed a Malvern Town commissioner in 1855 ) but in 1862 the two worked together on a new building for the City and County bank in Worcester

03.09.1862
The Worcestershire Chronicle reports “ City and County Banking Company – some time ago we gave a detailed account of the plans prepared by Messrs. Elmslie, Franey and Haddon, architects of Malvern, for new buildings for the above company, to be erected at the Cross. These buildings are nearly completed, and will probably be opened about six weeks from this date. They present a thoroughly handsome appearance, and form a great ornament to the neighbourhood. The style is Italian, the material used being the light-coloured Blockley stone, and the cost will be almost £14,000. Dining and drawing-rooms of noble dimensions are included, and the building will heated by Rosser and Co’s hot air apparatus. The contractors for the building are Messrs. Wood and son, of this city, and the furniture will be supplied by Messrs. F. Woodward and Co. The carving, of which there are some beautiful specimens about the building, has been wrought by Mr. Forsyth, of this city"
