Previously Gurney's Bank which opened in 1890 and is presumably the date of building. (The 1885 OS map shows a building here but with a different footprint). Gurney's Bank was based in Norwich and connected through marriage to Barclays Bank of London. Gilbert and Sullivan's 1875 opera 'Trial by Jury' uses the phrase "became as rich as the Gurneys" but they had suffered with failure in 1866 of the Overend, Gurney & Company bank. The Times reported that "It is understood that the suspension of Overend, Gurney & Co will not in the slightest degree compromise Gurney's Bank of Norwich. That establishment recently passed into the hands of new partners, whose resources are beyond all question". In 1896, Gurney's Bank merged with Backhouse's Bank of Darlington and Barclays Bank of London and several other provincial banks, controlled by Quaker families, to form what is now Barclays Bank.
