Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
This bank was formed in 1830 through the amalgamation of Williamson & Wells (est. 1807) and Baldock and G & W Hogge (est. 1810). It was also known as the Biggleswade & Baldock Bank. The firm was closely associated with the local brewing industry. The slow decline of this industry precipitated the sale of the bank to Capital & Counties Bank (est. 1877) in 1893.
