Brecon Old Bank
The Brecon Old Bank was founded in Brecon in 1778 by Mr John Wilkins (1713-1784),〔http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-WILK-INS-1350.html Retrieved 30 September 2009〕 who was highly regarded by the directors of the Bank of England.〔Early Banks in West Wales, by Francis Green (in West Wales Historical Records, The Annual Magazine of The Historical Society of West Wales, Volume VI, edited by Francis Green, Printed by W. Spurrell & Son, 1916)〕
==Development==
The bank was originally operated under the style Wilkins & Co. and developed steadily, opening up branches in Merthyr Tydfil, in 1812, and Cardigan, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest, in 1832.〔 The branch at Brecon is now the site of Lloyds Bank.〔Haslam, R., 2001, Pevsner Architectural Guides, The Buildings of Wales, Powys, Penguin Books/University of Wales Press ISBN 0-14-071051-5〕 The branch at Cardigan was located on the High Street next to Lloyds Bank, in a building ‘sizeable, but not grandiose, red brick above a stone mullioned bank front, with pretty stained glass’.〔Lloyd., T., Orbach., J., Scourfield, R., 2006, Pevsner Architectural Guides, The Buildings of Wales, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, Yale University Press ISBN 0-300-10179-1〕
After 1830, the enterprise operated under the name Brecon Old Bank.〔 The bank did well in West Wales, but did encounter a run against its assets in 1866, the year of the Overend, Gurney and Company failure in London. Around a hundred depositors claimed that they wanted their money back to erect water mills, while others said they wanted to build new houses and other buildings. However, bank officials had sufficient resources to meet all calls for this fictional building boom, and all cheques were paid promptly.〔 Depositors were then invited to re-deposit money with the bank once their fears were over. The run on the bank lasted seven days. Afterwards, nearly every depositor reopened an account at the bank.〔
