Yorkshire Bank, Billingham 2013
There have been quite a few comments and photographs on Billingham Town Centre recently, and today another little bit of town centre history will be made when the doors of the Yorkshire Bank at 71 Queensway will close for the very last time. At one time there were two Yorkshire Bank branches in Billingham but as from today there will be none!
Less than 24 hours later and the Yorkshire branch in Billingham is no more… Here are some before and after photographs.
