LLOYDS BANK IN SURREY
The bank was incorporated as a joint-stock bank in 1865 under the name Lloyds Banking Co. Ltd., arising from the amalgamation of Lloyds & Co. (Birmingham Old
Bank) and Moilliets and Sons.
The name changed to Lloyds, Barnetts & Bosanquets Bank Ltd. in 1884 when the bank took over the old Lombard Street houses of Barnetts Hoare & Co.
and Bosanquet, Salt & Co. Barnetts Hoare and Co. derived from an old goldsmith’s business at the sign of the 'black horse', subsequently adopted by
Lloyds. The rather cumbersome name was changed in 1889 when it became Lloyds Bank Ltd.
In 1918, Lloyds took over Capital & Counties Bank, gaining a large number of branches throughout Surrey.
