260 HISTORY OP EAST GRINSTEAD.


The existing commercial banks are all of comparatively
modern date. At the beginning of the last century and
down to about 1810, there was a bank in East Grinstead,
known as John and Andrew Burt, carried on at the
house in the High Street now occupied by Messrs. Young
and Sons' extensive grocery establishment. After the
Burts gave up business Mr. John Head, grandfather of
Messrs. William and Evelyn Head, now in partnership as
solicitors, had the same premises and became agent for
the Lewes Old Bank, and he was succeeded in the same
agency by his son George, who in time established
himself as a banker, and Mr. John Smith then became
Messrs. Molineux, Whitfeld & Co.'s agent. To him
succeeded Mr. William Rudge, and at his death, on
February 23rd, 1887, the bankers themselves took over
the direct management of the branch here. Their firm
was amalgamated with that of Barclay & Co. in 1897.
Head's Bank failed on February 24th, 1892, and this
immediately brought into existence here branches of
Lloyds Bank Ltd. and the Capital and Counties Bank,
both of which were opened in the town the day the
failure was announced.
