The former United Counties Bank building, Smethwick
On the corner of Cape Hill with Salisbury Road, this rather fine building stands as a bit of a landmark. United Counties Bank was a regional name adopted in 1907, following the merger of the Birmingham District & Counties Banking Company with the Bradford Old Bank. It was later acquired by what was to become the Barclays Banking Group. Aside from this branch, it had operations in Cradley Heath and Wolverhampton that I can find referenced; there were certainly many others.
