Barber Shop & Bank
Barber Shop & Bank
Neighbours on Fore Street, a men's barber shop and beyond it an old bank.
The bank, recently closed by Lloyds, was formerly Fox Fowler & Company, the last private bank in England to issue its own banknotes, which it did up until 1921.
A plaque on the wall records this bit of history ST1320 : History of the Bank.
