Aberdeen Town & County Bank
Can anyone give me any information regarding the early life of this Bank? I
know it was founded in 1825 and the first Banknotes were printed by Perkins Heath. (later Perkins & Bacon of postage stamp fame). I have a letter from Aberdeen (dated 16th June 1825) to Perkins Heath, Engravers, London complaining about the printing quality of the recently received banknotes. It is signed by a William Brown. As per Douglas (Scottish Banknotes) I do not think that Perkins were the printers of banknotes for any other Aberdeen bank which suggests that this is a letter in the very early life of the bank and perhaps the first note issue. Does anyone know anything more re William Brown or who exactly founded this Bank. (No need to check Checkland, Munn or Graham as no mention). |

The 1918 edition of Kerr mentions that the bank was founded in 1825 with
470 partners but no names are listed. Billy ROBERT TEEVAN wrote: Can anyone give me any information regarding the early life of this Bank?
