Bradford and Bingley, Scarborough, Newcastle, Darlington, Skipton, are also building societys

Halifax yes, no the one I'm thinking of is something like Kingston or Mansfield...

Didn't Leeds have one too?

Peteff - 27/10/10 at 05:35 PM

We have a building society in Clay Cross. It's called the Clay Cross building society and it's only got the one branch. It's for local people
