Lloyds Bank, Burgess Hill

The building reflects history, seemingly first occupied by the Burgess Hill Constitutional Club about 1892. In 1906 Burgess Hill Girls School was founded here until it moved to its current location in 1928, see; https://burgesshillgirls.com/about-us/school-history/ Lloyds Bank's branch in Burgess Hill began as an office of the Hampshire Banking Co in 1875. That bank became the Capital and Counties Bank in 1878 and it merged with Lloyds Bank in 1918. Integration took many years with the two operating largely separately until 1934. New premises were being opened across the country as the bigger bank expanded and Burgess Hill branch prospered. Sad to see it is about to close for good, however a stay of execution seems to have been agreed to 17th September 2024, see; https://www.lloydsbank.com/assets/media/pdfs/branch-reviews/lloyds-burgess-hill-branch-part-1.pdf
