That first piccy showing the Yorkshire Penny Bank was interesting.Opened my first bank account there at the age of nine...(56 yrs ago)I came home carrying a round thing with slots to save all my coins in (you never did know how much was in there till they opened it up) Sometimes you got a surprise...I was saving for a bike and it was taking a long time,but then I was promised a bike by Mum and Dad if I passed my 11 plus exam...which I did! Still got an old passbook with the amount of 4 pounds 10 shillings in it..a fortune in thse days....
