About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular customer entered Yorkshire Building Society one morning and exclaimed: ‘I just saw something strange outside!’ Everyone looked up from their desks to see what could possibly be out of place in such a quiet bank. Just then, a delivery driver walked in, carrying an enormous box. He announced with a straight face, 'This is for your new safe!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another ordinary day at Yorkshire Building Society.

2. A little girl walked into Yorkshire Building Society with her piggybank in hand. The teller smiled warmly as she approached, but her eyes widened when she heard what the child had to say: 'Mummy said I can open an account here!' The teller laughed gently and asked how much money was inside. ‘Just a pound,’ replied the little girl shyly. After some thought, she added, ‘but Mummy says it will grow if I keep putting coins in.’ Everyone in the branch couldn’t help smiling as they watched the girl carefully count out her savings.

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to Yorkshire Building Society. Something wasn’t right—there was an eerie silence, broken only by the soft hum of old computers. The driver cautiously approached the door and heard a faint voice whispering, ‘Come in, come in.’ Inside, he found an old man in a tweed suit, counting pencils instead of pounds. ‘Oh,’ said the man, noticing him for the first time. ‘You’re just in time for my afternoon tea break!’

4. A small dog raced into Yorkshire Building Society, barking frantically as if chasing something invisible. Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind a counter, scolding the dog gently but firmly. ‘Oh dear, you naughty little thing!’ she said. The dog stopped barking and looked around sheepishly, then trotted off towards her, tail wagging. A relieved smile spread across everyone’s faces—even the usually stern bank manager joined in the laughter.
