When I first started an account it was Williams Deacon's which metamorphosed in 1970 into Williams & Glyn's before becoming the RBS. The photo appears to date from the early 1960s, so it should have then been Williams Deacon's.Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-43582132259496033812011-06-02T21:58:21.499+01:002011-06-02T21:58:21.499+01:00What great memories you've brought back Dave, ...What great memories you've brought back Dave, I too loved going to Ibbotson's their hot cross buns were wonderful, they were oval shaped with a good amount of spice.

Is that William & Glyn's or William Deacons bank on the left hand corner? Wasn't Redmans on the left just out of the photograph?
