The Staffordshire Building Society

A sad sight - I remember this friendly little branch of the local building society and the kind way that they treated me the first time that I went in. Some years after that I remember the letter from the Portman saying that despite the takeov...erm, merger, ther was no intention of changing the local brand for the Staffordshire. Then I remember seeing Portman slapped all over it. Then Nationwide zapped Portman. And Nationwide have a branch around the corner and down the High Street of course. Voila.
