The Hyde branch of the NatWest occupies a corner of Market Street and Market Place.
The National Westminster Bank, as it was known before the name was foreshortened in the 1990s to simply NatWest, was formed in 1970 from the merger of three banks. These were the
- National Provincial Bank (established 1833)
- The District Bank formed in 1935 from the merger of the Manchester & Liverpool District Bank (established 1824) with the County Bank (established 1862)
- The Westminster Bank (originally the London & Westminster Bank established 1833)

Very interesting informations.
You could have mentioned that RBS is now part of HM Treasury Inc.
Interesting history of the merged bank, and here I was thinking that it was a shame to merge US banks with 50-year old histories!
