Administrative / Biographical History

Foundation

This private bank was established in Lombard Street, City of London in 1771 as Hanbury, Taylor, Lloyd & Bowman. Two of the partners, Sampson Lloyds III and John Taylor junior had been founding partners of Taylors & Lloyds in Birmingham, the firm from which Lloyds Bank was to evolve. Hanbury was a tobacco merchant and Bowman was the bank's manager who had formerly been a cashier with Smith & Payne (est. 1758), leading London bankers. The bank went through a number of partnership changes until it became Hanbury & Lloyd in 1858. The bank continued to act as London agents for Lloyds in Birmingham.

Takeover

The business merged with Barnett, Hoare & Co. (est. 1728) in 1864 to form Barnetts, Hoares, Hanbury & Lloyd.
