This area of the site covers letters sent to and / or from Banks for the period from 1st January 1800 to April 1840.  I have also included other where the content makes reference to a Bank or to Banking.

The year of 1840 is of no great relevance to Banking although May 1840 sees the introduction  of the Penny Black Postage stamp with this leading to major reforms within the Postal System.
