RMMee Moderator	Banks replied on: 4/3/2006 4:18:45 PM On an old photograph I have seen (pre 1913), the bank on Cromford Road, the very first building, directly opposite the Midland Hotel, was the "United Counties Bank." Clearly, this will have been taken over in subsequent mergers, and I'm not convinced that the bank I remember from the early 1960's wasn't a couple of doors further up Cromford Road.

Since this topic seems to be growing larger, which is great, I have started a new area on Shops in Langley Mill. Please contribute anything you remember about our old shops on that topic, keeping this one just for Banks.
ginner	Banks replied on: 11/29/2003 4:33:10 PM Yep.Remember Jack Stanways jewellery shop VERY clearly.I had a pewter tankard engraved there in 1973 that cost 75p to inscribe.Madge ,his wife very often popped over to the Midland for a drink at nights.Jack had an excellent stock of items in that shop.as had every shop on Cromford Road,no matter what their stock in trade was.It was extremely easy to buy whatever anyone wanted on Cromford or Station Road way back then,You could kit a house out,plus everyone that lived in it.Very un nerving how we had everything 40 years ago,now in the 21st century,we have nothing here at all

I have been told that some distant relatives of mine (Jack & Madge STANWAY) had a jewellery shop there ... do either of you remember it? thanks
RMMee Moderator	Banks replied on: 11/23/2003 7:17:19 PM Which of the premises opposite the Midland Hotel was Barclays Bank? It's not obvious by looking at them today.
ginner	Banks replied on: 11/13/2003 9:45:10 PM Midland bank was the Elnor St branch.Barclays was on Cromforsd Rd.
RMMee Moderator	Banks replied on: 8/31/2003 6:15:38 PM I've been told today that the bank at the junction of Elnor St and Station Rd was Barclays. That's not to say that they weren't on Cromford Rd at some other time.
D	Banks replied on: 5/20/2003 1:02:28 PM Was it Barclays bank opposite the midland on cromford road?
Peter Chamberlain Researcher	Banks replied on: 5/18/2003 7:02:55 PM Robert Recall Langley Mill had 4 Banks around 1950 1 is the one you mention at the corner of Elnor Street,the building is still there. 2 There was a Bank on Cromford Road opp The Midland in one of the shops. Unfortunatly i cannot recall who owned the banks. 3 Was of course the CO-OP Bank entrance off Dean Street upstairs into the Offices (Now Potters)The 4th Was the Post Office at its present location Peter
