Milford and Pembrokeshire Bank
This Bank was probably founded in 1802.〔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)〕 It was established in Pembrokeshire, with a branch at Milford (Milford Haven) and was one of the banks founded as a result of the Bank of England stopping cash payments in 1797.〔(Thomas Philipps of Milford: Emigrant Extraordinary ) Thorne, Roland G, National Library of Wales Journal. 1977, Summer Volume XX/1 〕
==History==
The Bank was operated by the partnership of Charles Philipps, Thomas Philipps & Co. They were members of the Philipps family of St Brides, Pembrokeshire as indicated by the spelling of their surname, and also the heraldic emblem and motto on the bank notes.〔
Samuel Levi Philips, the founder of the Haverfordwest Bank, was one of the promoters of the Milford and Pembrokeshire Bank and in his will he bequeathed the sum of £1000 to his first son, Philip Philips, ‘advanced as my part of the capital joint stock in the new Milford Bank, as one of the co-partners therein.’ This bank was probably the Milford and Pembrokeshire Bank.〔 However, it was his second son, Nathaniel Philips〔 of Slebech, who became the ‘mainstay’ of the Bank.〔 He was Thomas Philipps brother in law.〔
The Bank ran in to trouble due to the apparent incompetence of Thomas Philipps. He became involved in unsuccessful banking and trading ventures, and the bank also got entangled in Pembrokeshire politics〔Milford Bank papers, Slebech collection, National Library of Wales 〕 As a result, the Bank collapsed in July 1810, fifteen years before the Panic of 1825, with outstanding bank notes in the sum of £22,289.〔
