Lloyds Bank in the History of
English Banking
By R. S. SAYERS Ready in November 3SJ. net
Lloyds Bank has its main root in a substantial private bank founded in
Birmingham nearly two centuries ago; one hundred years ago this Bank
still had only the one office in Birmingham, with a related private banking
house in Lombard Street. But by amalgamation it has absorbed scores
of other eighteenth and nineteenth century banks, both private and
joint-stock, and at least two of the former reach back into Restoration
London, perhaps Cromwellian London. Although the records of these
historic businesses have been gravely impaired, especially by bombing in
1940-41, the Bank still possesses rich material for the economic and
social historian. This material has been at the disposal of Professor R. S.
Sayers and, though the gaps in the records have prevented him from
presenting a full and systematic history of the Bank, he presents in this book
a picture of English banking development as illustrated in the records
of Lloyds Bank.
The author's first interest has been to portray the people who have
been concerned as the bankers, the staff and the customers of the con-
stituent banks. For students already well versed in the history of
English banking more novel material will be found in chapters on
relations with the Bank of England and the development of organiza-
tion; other chapters fill out less unfamiliar aspects: competition and
co-operation with other banks, the relation between country banker and
London agent, the oddities of London's West End banking, and the
process of amalgamation. The book ranges from the seventeenth century
to about 1920, but most of the detail is drawn from the eighty years
between the beginning of country joint-stock banking and the emergence
of Lloyds Bank as one of the largest of the London Clearing Banks.
