Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

Formed in 1819, the Sheffield Savings Bank was started by twenty local gentlemen, amongst them Scottish-born poet James Montgomery, who sat as Chairman from its opening until his death thirty years later. In 1944, the bank was twelfth nationally by the size of funds; it later merged with TSB Yorkshire and Lincoln.

Written by Robert Eadon Leader (1839-1922), a journalist and historian known for his works regarding Sheffield and its vicinity. His other works include 'Reminiscences of Old Sheffield; its Streets and its People' and 'Sheffield in the Eighteenth Century'.
