Branch was closed as a wartime measure (from Current Accounts January 1963).
1939 the branch closed and was sold to Mr & Mrs Scott, who lived in and operated several businesses in the premises

A major conflagration swept through the town in 1944 destroying most of the buildings. The fire reached the wall of the ex-branch, severely blistering the paint, but it survived. Information provided by John Scott, son of the 1939 buyers of the branch to Geoff Chapman who sourced the Google photos.
