Butterknowle is opened by
the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in February 1923. It is one of four sub branches
to Barnard Castle, and along with Cockfield, Gainford and Staindrop is open
to customers for just a short amount of time each week to provide a local
banking service. Butterknowle opens Monday to Friday for an hour and a half,
but it is these short opening hours, and the associated costs of maintaining
and staffing such remote sub-Branches that brings about the demise of many
such small outlets. Despite being the only bank in the village, Butterknowle
just survives the merger with Barclays, shutting the door for the last time
in April 1971. |
In Service: 16 February 1923 until 30 April 1971
