Lock, Hulme & Co.

Lock, Hulme & Co. was a bank in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

The bank was established by a Mr Hulme, who was a bank clerk. He worked for the Carmarthen Bank before its failure in 1832, and went into partnership with a Mr Robert Lock. They traded under the name Lock, Hulme & Co.^[1]

The Bank opened a branch in Pembroke^[1] and was subsequently purchased by the London and Provincial Bank, Ltd. (1864–1917), in 1868. This bank was itself absorbed by the London Provincial and South Western Bank Ltd. (1917–1918), which became a constituent bank of Barclays Bank.^[2]

The Bank did not issue bank notes as this had been prohibited by Act of Parliament passed prior to the bank's foundation.^[1]
