TWO centuries of banking in a town is to be highlighted in an exhibition.
Ledgers and photographs dating back to 1792 will be on display in Barclays in Richmond until Christmas.
Richmondshire MP William Hague visited the exhibition last week.
He said: "In 1792 the French Revolution was in full swing.
"It is good to know that even though there was such violence across the channel, the residents of Richmond were proceeding to the bank with their deposits."
