The Twelve Tellers is a Grade II listed building in Preston that began as a savings bank in 1907. It was built with Baroque style and still has its original 65-foot counter, exposed brick walls, and steel beams from when it became a pub. Inside, lighting shifts from bright areas to softer lounge zones, energetic but not overwhelming. The decor is traditional, updated with modern touches that keep daily operations smooth without cluttering the space. The venue’s identity comes straight from its past: a bank turned community hub.
