Croxon, Jones & Co (Old Bank) Ltd was a private bank established in Oswestry. It operated between 1792 and 1894.[1]

It was originally known as Gibbons & Coit and, in 1893, was converted into a joint-stock company with limited liability and a paid-in capital of £35,000. Upon conversion the bank was renamed Croxon, Jones & Co (Old Bank) Ltd.[1]

The bank went through a number of name changes during its 100-year history:

  • Gibbons & Coit from 1792
  • Croon & Sheppard by 1812
  • Croxon & Co by 1814
  • Croxon, Longueville, Jones, Croxon & Gibbons by 1829
  • Croxon, Longueville & Co by 1834
  • Swete, Roberts & Longueville by 1887
  • Croxon, Jones & Co in 1893

The bank was also known as Oswestry Old Bank.[1]

In 1894 the bank was acquired by Parr's Banking Co & Alliance Bank Ltd of Warrington and the bank subsequently became a past constituent of NatWest.[1]

The bank's archives are held by RBS and Shropshire Archives.
