This row of shops, situated within a small triangle, is sandwiched between Nile Street and Newbould Lane. In the near distance you can just see the top of Broomhill Infants School, and beyond is the Hallamshire Hospital. The Yorkshire Bank is a commercial bank in England and Wales, a division of Clydesdale Bank, which in turn is a subsidiary of National Australia Bank. It mostly operates in the North of England, especially in Yorkshire. It was known as the Yorkshire Penny Bank. I suppose they dropped that title when decimal coinage came out. The Yorkshire 1p Bank wouldn't look very good.
