Bank of Blackburn £1 note for auction
Published June 10th, 2007
An historic one pound note, owned by a private collector, is due to fetch around £600 when it goes up for auction in London.
The note was printed by local bank Cunliffes, Brooks & Co at a time during the late 1700s and 1800s when towns across England were allowed to print their own money.
The bank which produced the valuable black and white provincial banknote was owned by John Cunliffe and opened in 1792 on Old Bank Street, relocating to the corner of Church Street and Darwen Street in 1878.
The current world record for an English provincial banknote is £3,335 for an 1829 Wirksworth and Ashbourne Bank five pound note from Derbyshire.
Auctioneers Spink are to auction the banknote.
