Bond Certificates

gaynormay

I am the executor for my late Aunts will and have come across 2 bond certificates : 1 for the London Borough of Hackney the other for Greenwich corporation , which were issued in the late 70's . I am at a loss to know what do do with them or if they are indeed still worth anything. One is for £2000 the other £3000.
Can anyone offer any advice ?
TIA

I seem to recall seeing a lot of small adverts in newspapers at that time from Local Authorities seeking short term deposits over 1, 2 or 3 years, etc. and offering a fixed rate of interest. I paid little attention to them at the time and can only imagine that they were repaid at the end of the period.



What do the bond certificates actually say?

What information is on these certificates for Hackney & Greenwich Councils?

Perhaps contact their Treasury departments.

May be reading though these might suggest lines of account?
