Established in 1866 this Building Society was closed down in 1984 by the Registrar of Friendly Societies for what were then considered unsafe business practices. From This Is Money: "The New Cross Building Society became part of the Woolwich & Equitable Building Society in March 1984, which then became just Woolwich in May 1990. Woolwich has, of course, since turned into a PLC."
