Short profile:
Newbury Building Society was established in 1856 under the name of "The Newbury Permanent Benefit Building and Investment Society".
Detailed description:
At the first Annual General Meeting in November 1857, it was reported that mortgage advances totalling £840 had been granted. There were 57 members and the profit for the year was £14 and 10 shillings.
In January 1894, a struggling rival, Newbury and District Industrial Building Society, merged with the newly named Newbury and Permanent Benefit Building Society. In 1896 the Society's original rented premises in Northbrook Street were purchased for £525 and it operated here until 1934 when offices in Bartholomew Street were acquired (now occupied by Sovereign Housing Association).
