It is 1910, and the North Eastern Banking Company is busy opening up
new branches to attract deposits and build its business. Coxhoe is opened as a sub-branch to West
Cornforth, although under Martins Bank the situation becomes reversed.
In 1914 the North Eastern Bank is the latest to amalgamate with the Bank of
Liverpool, which is keen to strengthen its position in this part of
England. A letter to all North Eastern
managers asks them to defer taking leave until after a shareholders
meeting. This should ensure that any
customer who is worried about any aspect of the two banks merging, can be
reassured. It is noted in The Times newspaper of 21 July 1914 that if the
amalgamation is confirmed by the shareholders, the Bank of Liverpool will
become the largest provincial bank in the country. Despite some misgivings by a few
shareholders of the North East Bank, a very good deal is on the table, and
the two banks merge. |
