Plaque

National Bank Ltd - NW10

Inscription

The National Bank Limited
This branch was opened on 17th July 1882 and was the first joint stock bank in the Willesden district.

A lovely and unusual plaque - we cannot discover when, nor by whom, it was erected.

Site: National Bank Ltd - NW10 (1 memorial)

NW10, Craven Park Road, 86

This building has not been Listed nationally but does have a local listing entry. Here we learn that the attached four storey house, plus attic, was the "manager’s house", and that both that and the bank itself are "virtually unaltered", though the house has been converted to flats and, sometime 2018-19, the bank building lost its (RBS) branding so has presumably ceased business.
