Goslings Bank

Goslings Bank was a historical English bank, located since at least 1743 at No. 19 Fleet Street, London, and identified to customers by a hanging signboard depicting three squirrels. After becoming Goslings and Sharpe it was a constituent bank in the Barclays&Co merger of 1896 .cite book | title=Barclays: the business of banking, 1690-1996 | url=http://books.google.com/books?id=yAwipk34KP0C&pg=PA57&ots=s_19PxdvuM&dq=goslings+bank&sig=uKdZ8uHJN2lsueqVDXtuF7H4qQQ| last=Ackrill| first=Margaret| coauthors=Leslie Hannah| date=2001| pages=Page 57 | publisher=Cambridge University Press| location=Cambridge | id=ISBN 0521790352] The name of this well-known banking family is perpetuated in parentheses on all Barclays cheques relating to accounts held at the Fleet Street branch.
