Croxon, Jones & Co (Old Bank) Ltd was a private bank established in Oswestry. It operated between 1792 and 1894.[1]
It was originally known as Gibbons & Coit and, in 1893, was converted into a joint-stock company with limited liability and a paid-in capital of £35,000. Upon conversion the bank was renamed Croxon, Jones & Co (Old Bank) Ltd. [1]
The bank went through a number of name changes during its 100-year history:
- Gibbons & Coit from 1792
- Croon & Sheppard by 1812
- Croxon & Co by 1814
- Croxon, Longueville, Jones, Croxon & Gibbons by 1829
- Croxon, Longueville & Co by 1834
- Swete, Roberts & Longueville by 1887
- Croxon, Jones & Co in 1893
The bank was also known as Oswestry Old Bank.[1]
In 1894 the bank was acquired by Parr's Banking Co & Alliance Bank Ltd of Warrington and the bank subsequently became a past constituent of NatWest.[1]
