Notes:
Sandow Grocery/Lloyds Bank
This was a general grocery shop run by Sandow, then House, then Phillips, then Tonks [The Old Bank House, Fore Street]. Peter and Ruth Tonks also took over the post office here, eventually moving it to the purpose-built shop at Ivy Mount which is still the post office today. The door to the grocery shop is now a window and the bay window to the left was the grocery shop with the post office at the back of it.

Across the road is the Old Bank House, a capital building. Lloyds Bank had a room here from March 1907 to September 1939. You went in through the door and the bank was in the room on the right. Look at this handsome building again. Now look at the building Lloyds had in Carbis Bay until recently and reflect. To the left of the door of the Old Bank House is a window. If you look carefully, you can see that it was once a door and it led to a grocery shop and the third post office to the left of the vanished door.

Lloyds Bank
There was a branch at Lelant from March 1907 until September 1939, when, like Barclays, it closed because of the outbreak of War.
It opened in March 1907 as an agency of Lloyds Bank at Penzance and became a sub-branch of the St Ives in August 1927. As a sub-branch it was at the Old Bank House, Fore Street.
For 1907-1927 the agent was J. Sandow. The bank was opened from 10 am to 3 pm. There was a half day on Wednesday from 10am to 1 pm. The hours changed several times and in 1932 the bank was opened only on Thursdays from 1030 am to 1230 pm, presumably for the same economic reason as Barclays's reduced opening.
