In 1826 the Old Bank converged with Ames Cave and Co which had been opened as The New Bank’ in 1786. The Old Bank presently got itself part of a public branch banking organization. In 1908 the 35 Corn Street premises were, incidentally as it turned out, and surrendered by a trade with the Liverpool London and Globe Insurance Organization for the structure inverse at number 36, planned by W B Gingell, the Bristol Architect. This was suitably depicted at the time by the ‘Western Daily Press’ as being in a lane having large amounts of design wins ‘and these premises are among the most pleasant, with various forcing columns and a bounty of cutting.

While the Westminster Bank couldn’t guarantee so old a connection with Bristol as the National Provincial, its quality in the city got through the Stuckey family; one of the most acclaimed names in West Country banking. During the time that Stuckey’s were giving their own notes these were broadly favored locally to those of the Bank of England. During 1918 Parr’s converged with the London County and Westminster Bank who, through the London and Westminster Bank, could guarantee the qualification of building up the principal joint stock bank in London with the opening in 1834 of its City office on part of the site on which the Head Office of National Westminster in Lothbury currently stands.
