HSBC marking century in Trowbridge

4:00pm Friday 8th March 2013 in Trowbridge

To mark 100 years of HSBC being in Trowbridge the branch would like to hear from customers with memories of banking in the town.

The branch, which opened as the Midland, in Church Walk, on July 22, 1913, moved to Fore Street, where it is still based today, on May 7, 1917.

To mark their centenary, the branch plans to hold a celebration in July.

Branch manager Bill Gray said: “We’d love to get as many customers involved as possible and any ideas are welcome. I’d also like any former staff to come forward and share their memories.”

Mr Gray said old pictures of the branch would also be gratefully received for a display showing its changes over the years. If you can help, email billgray@hsbc.co.uk

I did not bank at Midland bank but I went in there once on behalf of a family member.
If I recall correctly, there was rather a long queue which moved quite quickly. After successfuly taking care of business, I left the building without photographing it and went to buy a pie.

sorry Mrs Donnyfly I don't recall the details of that pie. I often celebrated a successful bank visit with a pie, but cannot be absolutely sure that I acquired one on that day of the Midland Bank visit ie I may have been exaggerating or even pythagorating.

I notice thàt HSBC would gratefully receive old pictures of the branch.
If anyone has such items pease make sure that you charge HSBC for their use before they are received.
