Banking partnerships in London and provinces (1658–1918)
Samuel Smith & Co was a series of English banking partnerships in London and the provinces, all controlled by the Smith family that operated between 1658 and 1918. Although Smith's Bank was never a single entity, the first bank was established in Nottingham by Thomas Smith; often dated to 1658, it is believed to have been the first bank to be formed outside London.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
