Further west beyond <a href="/wiki/Deansgate" title="Deansgate">Deansgate</a> is King Street West on a different alignment. By the 1970s, there was a clear demarcation between the eastern section of mainly financial and office buildings and the narrower section to the west a mostly upmarket shopping street (later pedestrianised). Subsequently, the eastern section had the monumental <a href="/wiki/Former_National_Westminster_Bank,_Spring_Gardens,_Manchester" class="mw-redirect" title="Former National Westminster Bank, Spring Gardens, Manchester">National Westminster Bank</a> offices built at no. 55 and some years later further changes increasingly brought more upmarket retail.

The King Street building was subsequently occupied by a <a href="/wiki/Manchester_Library_%26_Information_Service" title="Manchester Library & Information Service">public library</a> and then Lloyds Bank.
