History about Heywood House Hotel
Arthur Heywood established Heywood's Bank in 1773. Like many bankers in those days, he was a merchant and slave ship owner.
The original building was taken down in 1864 and the business was sold to the Bank of Liverpool in 1883, when it became known as Heywood's Branch of the Bank of Liverpool. Its name was later changed to Martin's Bank, before becoming Barclays Bank.
Local author and historian Quentin Hughes refers to Heywood's Bank's classical facade as being 'very elegant and well proportioned.'
