It is an incomplete list of the catalogue, which is being added to constantly, this document will change as new material is created, so please check back to see new additions. For additional listing about 25% more of the catalogue [which will be added to this document in the future] see the A2A website at www.a2a.org.uk. To search the catalogue use the search function in the PDF viewer. Please note this list is of archival material, and access to this material is different from Local History Library material. This is because the items are unique and need to be preserved. If you require access to this material please contact the LHAC and arrange an appointment, quoting the reference numbers of the items you require. We cannot produce whole collections or large amounts of material without prior appointment. Only a member of the Archives staff can produce archives; please check the availability of this material and that a member of Archives staff is available before visiting. On some late nights, staff breaks, lunchtimes and Saturday it may not be possible to produce archival material because no Archives staff are available, so contact LHAC before visiting. Unfit for Production If an item is marked ‘Unfit for Production’ this means it is fragile or damaged and it cannot be produced. But LHAC staff may be able to access the document and extract the information, or a copy of the document may exist. Please contact LHAC and see how we can help you access the material. This may not be possible if the material is very badly damaged and no copy exists. Restricted access Some collections are marked ‘restricted access; contact the LHAC’. These are collections that are not fully listed. We will try and provide access, but extra security measures will apply and they may require time to prepare. Time is needed to assess and make the material available and a member of Archives staff will advise you as to time this will take. Large collections may be too large to produce but a member of staff may be able to check the material for you and provide information. These listed items are to help you find useful information and are prioritised for full cataloguing by LHAC staff but this is an ongoing process. These items cannot be produced without prior appointment and require notice for staff to check the material. Contact the LHAC before visiting. Please note: For access to archival material contact the LHAC BEFORE visiting.

Introduction The new Sydenham branch of the London Trustees Savings Bank was located at 59 Sydenham Road. The London Trustees Savings Bank opened new premises at 181 Lewisham High Street in 1965. In 1810, the Reverend Henry Duncan of Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, set up a bank to help his poorest parishioners save for times of hardship. It was such a popular scheme that by 1818 there were 465 savings banks in Britain (including 182 in Scotland). The Trustee Savings Bank Association (TSBA) was established in 1887 to help the individual banks co-operate and to advise on matters of common concern. The 1985 TSB Act opened the way for the group to restructure in preparation for its stock market flotation in 1986. The following year saw a network of estate agencies set up, the acquisition of Hill Samuel Bank and Target Life, and the launch of Speedlink, Britain’s first telephone banking system. TSB England and Wales became TSB Bank plc in 1989, and the newly named TSB Bank Scotland plc and TSB Bank Northern Ireland plc became its subsidiaries that year. In 1991 Allied Irish Banks bought TSB Bank Northern Ireland and in 1992 TSB Bank Channel Islands became a subsidiary of TSB Bank. In 1995, the merger between TSB and Lloyds Bank formed Lloyds TSB Group plc. Acquired by: Donation Access: Open Date of accession: 1971 Accession number: A/71/2 Related Material: See also A/65/24.
