150 years after the anti-enclosure activist Joseph Tubb created the poem tree, NatWest decided to sponsor it. Shortly afterwards, NatWest's corporate and investment arm began to suffer massive losses, triggering a chain of scandals and resignations which culminated in its sale to the Royal Bank of Scotland, brokered by Sir Fred Goodwin. As part of the NatWest package, RBS acquired its investment subsidiary, Greenwich NatWest. Through the activities of Greenwich NatWest, RBS became one of the world's major underwriters of collateralised debt obligations, leaving it massively exposed and leading to it posting the largest loss in corporate history during the credit crunch. Such is the course of time, the wreck which fate and awful doom award the earthly great.
As you can see, somebody who visited the tree before us has had a go at the plaque with their Victorinox.

Tower 42 formerly the NatWest Building is the third-tallest skyscraper in the City of London _26K4343
The old National Provincial (now NatWest) bank in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Built in an elegant Georgian style all is not quite as it seems - the semicircular entrance hall was only added around 1910, when the building was extensively altered. Inside the platerwork is quite spectacular, as is the glass dome set into the high ceiling of the banking hall.
Seeing as I had a distant shot of the NatWest Tower, I figured that I might as well get some shots of it up and close from Colmore Row.
It used to be known as National Westminster House. It is now owned by British Land, who want to demolish it and replace it with a new skyscraper.
It was designed by John Madin. Designs first publicised in 1964, first phase of the scheme completed in 1969 (banking hall). Construction of the tower began in 1973. Completed 1974.
Full information here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/103_Colmore_Row
British Land want to develop this site and build a skycraper in it's place (demolishing John Madin's concrete design).
The building is dated 1899 and was built for the Liverpool Furnishing Company.
The bank opened sometime between 1915 and 1920, as the United Counties Bank, and was later taken over by Barclays.
National Westminster Bank had moved here by 1975.
Edit. July 2013.
NatWest have closed this branch.

Barclays and RBS were involved in a 6-month long battle to take over the Netherlands' ABN AMRO Holding NV in much of 2007.
RBS, along with Spain's Banco Santander SA and Belgo-Dutch bancassurance Fortis SA/NV in the end won and took over ABN AMRO in October 2007.

ANOTHER East Lancashire bank will be axed as finance chiefs claim customers are preferring to handle their accounts online.
One of the main banks in Bacup - Nat West - has announced it intends to close its Market Street branch from March next year, amid suggestions that footfall has dropped by more than 50 per cent.
The move follows confirmation that the Co-operative Bank has pulled out of Colne, with its Albert Road branch closing this week.
Nat West already closed its Haslingden branch in October 2013, as Barclays also moved out of the Rossendale town last January.
Bosses say that a cash machine will still be left at the axed Bacup branch. From next spring their Rawtenstall premises will be their only presence in the Rossendale valley.
And an agreement has been drawn up with the Post Office, which has a branch at the top of Burnley Road, to use their facilities to withdraw cash, check balances and make deposits.

This was a branch of the NatWest bank for as long a I can remember. Not anymore. It has a very distinctive style with the use of anodized aluminum.
As you can see the building was originally a residential house. If you have a spare £250,000 it can be yours.
"The property occupies a prominent position in Birstall, fronting onto Loughborough Road. The retail parade extends around the corner, along Sibson Road. The parade is made up of a mix of local and national operators, serving the local community. Nearby occupiers include Tesco Express, Nationwide, Barclays Bank, Papa Johns and Boots."
"This semi-detached, two-storey property has a modern single storey extension to the rear. The property is accessed via the front, with a rear fire escape to a rear garden area. The property has a right of access to the rear via the adjoining property's gated drive way. The Ground Floor comprises a main retail banking hall area, subdivided into a number of interview rooms, a back office and public space. To the rear is an additional back office, store rooms and a strong room. The First Floor is made up of a staff room, storage spaces and WCs."

The fifteenth century tower of St Michael, Cornhill, which survived the Great Fire, having proved unstable, was demolished in the early eighteenth century. A 130-foot high replacement was completed in 1721. In contrast to the main body of the church, it was built in a Gothic style, in imitation of that of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Construction had began in 1715, with money from the coal fund. Funds proved inadequate, and work stopped in 1717. The tower was eventually completed with the upper stages being to the designs of its surveyor, Nicholas Hawksmoor.
the National Westminster Bank built the iconic National Westminster Tower in London (completed 1980) to serve as its international headquarters. At a height of 600 feet (183 m) it was the tallest building in the UK until the topping-out of Canary Wharf Tower 10 years later, its footprint in the shape of the bank's logo. In 1993, the NatWest Tower was devastated by a Provisional IRA bomb and the bank vacated the building, subsequently selling it.

For decades in the latter half of the 20th century, the English banking scene was dominated by the Big Four High Street Banks: Barclays, Lloyds, Midland and NatWest.
But banking is like a chess game and things can change sometimes rather unexpectedly. In 2000, in a shocking move, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) bought NatWest after NatWest made an ill-conceived move to buy insurer Legal & General plc. NatWest's offer to buy Legal & General casued NatWest share prices to tumble. In the end, not only did it fail to acquire L&G, but it fell prey to the "little" bank from Scotland.
This is the old NatWest building at No. 1 Princes Street. An RBS flag on top of the building shows you who's the boss now. Interestingly, RBS won NatWest in 2000 partly because it got some financial help from Spain's Banco Santander. In 2007, the duo once again partnered to buy out Holland's ABN AMRO.

I would have expected this building to be listed but I can find no evidence to support my thoughts. Am I missing something?
The premises were completely rebuilt between March 1897 and October 1899 for Pares Leicestershire Banking Company
New Brighton had five banks.
This is the last still in use as a bank.
It may have opened as late as 1960.
