Re: Years Gone By
I think she got them from the register office or whatever it was which was up Avenue Parade opposite where Peel House now is. I used to call in on behalf of the bank and we did the same thing - sent all new babies a card and if the parent brought the card to the bank we opened the baby an account with five shillings and gave them a free locked box type thing to save up in - known as a "home safe" which they had to bring in to the bank to be unlocked. Mad or what?
