Local memories
What people who knew this place have said about it, in their own words. These are memories, not checked facts.
“I remember the Municipal Bank on Kingstanding Rd. In 1945 to 1948 I was in the RAF. I used to have part of my pay sent home to my mother who would deposit it in the Municipal Bank. When I was discharged from the RAF I went to the bank to draw out the money. The lady Teller persuaded me to leave Five Shillings in the account to keep it open”
“I had a black metal money box, with a gilt handle from the Municipla Bank where I saved some of my pocket money in the 1950’s. It had to be taken to the bank to be opened and the money deposited.”
