A verse from a poem called Th' Ordanance at Burton (Kirkburton)About the soldiers measuring the land for the Ordanance SurveyA serjeant - sich a pusherAn' just as full o' swankAs th' Emporer o' PrussiaOr t' boss o t' Penny Bank

Perhaps sundowner knows. Is there still a branch there?Once saw a film called "Value For Money" - at the Rialto Cinema, Rodley, since you ask - and what I remember was one character claiming to have a tidy sum "in't Yokksha' Penny".All banks are reducing their branches, as more people, myself included, use the internet. Very rarely need to go to a branch. Hi Uno Hoo your right about the Yorkshire Bank its just at the side of Pudsey Market Place opposite Pudsey Town Hall.

Been a long time since anyone added to this thread, but there was a YPB branch on Austhorpe Road, Crossgates, opposite the old Travellers and the Chapel.

That was a branch of the Trustee Savings Bank, before Lloyds took them over.
