CAPITAL AND COUNTIES BANKING COMPANY
The Capital and Counties Banking Company, which had been founded in 1834, opened a new branch at 103 Fore Street, Devonport, in 1891. The premises were designed by Mr H G Luff, of Devonport, and constructed by Messrs T Jenkins & Son, of Marlborough Street, Devonport, at a cost of £554. [a] Between then and 1897 they opened a branch in Whimple Street, Plymouth. The Capital & Counties Bank took over the Cornish Bank's premises at 73 George Street and their branch at 28 Chapel Street, Stonehouse, in addition to maintaining their old presence at Fore Street, Devonport. The Stonehouse branch was closed down in 1916. After thirty years of taking over other banks, the Capital and Counties Banking Company was itself taken over by Lloyd's Bank early in 1918.
