Was the Woolwich in Ynysybwl
A long derelict former building society branch in Robert Street.
The Woolwich was one of the largest UK building societies, well known from its TV advertising slogan
"I'm with the Woolwich". The Woolwich Equitable Building Society demutualised in 1997, becoming a bank named Woolwich PLC. In August 2000, Barclays took over Woolwich PLC. The Woolwich brand name was retained until 2006 when Barclays announced that the Woolwich was to become the Barclays UK mortgage brand, and that Woolwich branches would be either closed or rebranded as Barclays.
