This was the Stoke Branch office of NatWest Trustee Department. It remained the only branch office to be located in residential type accommodation. In a previous life it had been a rectory. At one time there were in excess of 90 such branch offices scattered around the country specialising in Trust and Estate administration, investment portfolio management and a few offering tax services. This branch closed in 1990/91 merging with the then Chester office. I took this image on one of my chance visits to the branch in 1987 as a part of my role in the bank at the time. I have been fortunate in that the archivist at Stoke on Trent Archives helped to locate the exact position. This is a scanned copy of the photograph which doesn't do justice to the building. See Jonathan Hutchins more recent image Image] which shows it as a business centre.
