Not just a bank, THE bank on Penny Lane.  The one where the banker never wears a mac, even in the pouring rain.

Hey the photo sucks, but I was on a moving bus with a cheap camera.  I saw the barber shop and the firehouse too, but didn't get shots.  The roundabout is there, but the shelter has been replaced with a bistro or something.

Lyrics:
                In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

                Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.

               And all the people that come and go

               Stop and say hello.

               On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,

               The little children laugh at him behind his back.

               And the banker never wears a Mac

               In the pouring rain, very strange.

               Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

               There beneath the blue suburban skies

               I sit, and meanwhile back.

               In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass

               And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.

               He likes to keep his fire engine clean,

               It's a clean machine.

               Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

               A four of fish and finger pies

               In summer, meanwhile back.

               Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout

               The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

               And tho' she feels as if she's in a play

               She is anyway.

               In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,

               We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.

               And then the fireman rushes in

               From the pouring rain, very strange.

               Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

               There beneath the blue suburban skies

               I sit, and meanwhile back.

               Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

               There beneath the blue suburban skies,

               Penny Lane.
