'Turnback Tuesday' (on Thursday) features original Derby Bank


Turnback Tuesday remembers the original Derby Bank. 
The first Derby Bank came into existence in 1809 and was located in a red brick building at 31 Bank St., Derby. The bank was successful until the War of 1812 which brought disaster to the enterprise. 
The bank finally collapsed in 1825. The building still stands today.


Thanks go to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
