Historical Context
1 North Street is a building rich in history and architectural character. Believed to date back to the mid to late 19th century, the property has served the community in various capacities over the years. Its distinctive, white-painted façade, slate roof, and elegant shopfront — supported by fluted Tuscan semicolumns and ornate cast-iron brackets — make it a local landmark.
The building has housed several businesses over the decades, including Arnold & Son estate agents, listed in Kelly’s 1950 Directory. In 1968, Nationwide Building Society first operated from Bridge Street before relocating to this site in 1986, where it has remained a familiar presence in the town ever since.
This project not only reinforces our commitment to high-quality service delivery but also contributes to the preservation and functionality of a site that holds a unique place in Leatherhead’s commercial heritage’.
