Cark in Cartmel1 Banking in Cark-in Cartmel In today's high street the bank is becoming a rarity and 2017 will see the closure of another branching the Cartmel Peninsula; the National Westminster Bank in Main Street, Grange over Sands.2The banks are leaving the small market town high street but in the late nineteenth and for the first half of the twentieth century they were part of the local landscape in not only market towns, but even villages and hamlets such as Cark in Cartmel. Until 1826, banks were essentially private merchant banks but the Bank Act of 1826 permitted joint stock banks of issue with unlimited liability to be established. The Lancaster Banking Co. was one such bank which was set up in 1826 and existed until 1907 when it was taken over. For over seventy years, the hamlet of Cark in Cartmel, Cumbria had three banks ; the Lancaster Banking Co. which according to the Bulmer's Directory of 19113 was located at Bank House, Station Rd. and opened initially on Fridays ; the York City and County Banking Co. which became 1 HSBC archives April 18th 2017 2 The Westmorland Gazette, Thursday, March 31st. 2017 3 Bulmer's Directory of 1911. the London and Joint Stock Bank Ltd. was also located at 119 Station Rd. ; and the Bank of Liverpool and Martin's Ltd. which was located opposite at 114 Station Rd. All three banks were characterised by the fact that the banking premises occupied only one room of the building that they occupied and in addition were staffed by one member of staff , which in the case of the Midland and Martin's banks was the bank manager from either the Ulverston or Grange branch.
