Holmes already suspected that Vincent Spaulding was up to no good in 'The Red-headed League,' but he needed to know why. He beat his walking stick upon the pavement, and he determined from this by the solid sound he heard that a tunnel would not be in front of the pawnbroker's shop. When he knocked on the door and saw the soiled knees of Spaulding's trousers, his suspicions were confirmed that a tunnel must be under construction. Holmes then walked around the block (BEHIND the pawnbroker's shop) to find the Coburg branch of the City and Suburban Bank.

Why did Holmes look over the jabez Wilson sign at Saxe Coburg Square?

You must be referring this passage from 'The Red-Headed League.' 'Three gilt balls and a brown board with "JABEZ WILSON" in white letters, upon a corner house, announced the place where our red-headed client carried on his business. Sherlock Holmes stopped in front of it with his head on one side and looked it all over, with his eyes shining brightly between puckered lids.' The coat-of-arms of the house of the Medici family of Lombardy had three gilt (gold) balls, and they were the first money lenders in London during the middle ages. Since that time, three gilt balls had come to be the universal symbol for a pawn-broker's shop. Holmes probably had an epiphany when he realised there is another institution famous for money-lending.
