Barclays could have done the same with the historic Gosling Brand associated to their 19 Fleet Street branch, but decided not to.0 -

What the future for Child & Co as a brand is, without a website, branch or anything other than the personal relationships they currently have, remains to be seen.0 -

Anyone got a Woolwich debit card and cheque book?1

Will probably end up just with Hoare’s Bank there in the end. To even go inside you need to persuade the doorman to permit you entry!0 -
I am really curious to know if we will be allowed to stay on Child branding. Guess we will have to wait until the summer to see!2

Out of curiosity, for those of you that have received the letter, did you actively use the account?
I am asking because my wife does not and has received the letter posted above in this thread, whilst I actively do (rewards account, DD, monthly salary and other incomes circulated into and out, Debit Card used regularly, etc), have a call once a year from my Personal Banker from the branch, and have yet to receive the letter.The physical branch is closing, and that is for sure, but I was wondering if some customer profiles will receive a letter with different informations at a latter stage?I also bank with Drummonds and have their branded Debit card. The branch was completely refurbished within the last 2 years, so hopefully they stay open for the time being.1 -
