Bradford Old Bank - Great Horton, UK - Converted Bank Buildings on Waymarking.com

There is very little information about the Bradford Old Bank, but I have found a website about banks in another town called Harrogate including the Bradford Old Bank. "While amalgamation of banks is now very much the vogue, it was almost frantic one hundred years ago. By 1866, Harrison and Co (Old Bank) were on James Street. They were taken over by Bradford Old Bank in 1875 who were in turn absorbed by the United Counties Bank in 1907, finally ending up as Barclays Bank in 1916."

According to Wikpedia Barclays Bank is now the seventh-largest of any bank worldwide.

The building itself was at one time converted to a medical centre but it now contains the office of Stachiw Bashir Green, a solicitor's practice. link
The name of the bank and the date of construction is carved in stone above the entrance to the building on the corner of Great Horton road and Saint Street.

Address: Stachiw Bashir Green Solicitor's 656 Great Horton Road Bradford West Yorkshire BD7 4AA Year: 1902 Current Use of Building: A Solicitor's office Website: Not listed
