Turnback Tuesday looks at the Derby Savings Bank, which started operations in 1846 at 168 Main St., Derby.
Eleven years later, it moved to the corner of Main and Caroline Streets, where it operated until 1923. Then the bank moved to the corner of Main and Olivia Streets.
The final location in 1976 was at the corner of Main and Elizabeth Streets, where Derby City Hall is today.
The image is a coin bank given to customers to help them save their hard-earned change under lock and key. It was also used a form of advertising.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
