Hi I have a money box but unfortunately we can’t find the key ! Do you know where I can get one ? thank you KatieI have one of these money boxes and it was made by Wilkins and Right, a company i worked at as a polisher in 1966. The company was situated on the main road near to the West Bromwich football club, the building was pulled down sometime back and the new building was a DIY store.
My old bank book as a child.
Me too. Perhaps I was behind you in the queueHi Yes Used To Have One Of Those Iron Money Boxes You Took In To Be Emptied I Used To Go The One On Warwick Road In Acocks Green.

Sorry Dave, we were never owned by Lloyds but we were taken over by BarclaysHi Bernard,
Martins Bank Bank was owned in the early 60's by Lloyds then in the
late 60's by Barclays, they were not associated with the National
Provincial Bank which did indeed merge with the Westminster to
become the NatWest Bank. You can tell if your Natwest Branch started
life as a National Provincial branch, as the sort code will start with a 5
rather than a 6.
I remember that in the 1960s Martins had a branch in Digbeth, not far
from the coach station. The National Bank, mentioned in an earlier post
is nothing to do with any of these, and is (or perhaps was now ?) an
Irish Bank.
Kind regards
Dave
