Beverley: A Brief Introduction
Beverley is a small market town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated in a valley on the River Hull. With a population of almost 30,000 inhabitants, Beverley is the largest town in Yorkshire after Hull, Bradford and Leeds. It is an attractive and historic market town famed for its 12th century Beverley Minster and its many Georgian and Victorian buildings.
Beverley is also known for its long and proud connection with both the car industry and the finance industry, as well as its many motorsport events held there every year. This article will explore the town's automotive, financial and motorsport history as well as its current demographics.
Beverley's Automotive History
Beverley's automotive industry dates back to the early 1920s when the first car manufacturing plant was established there. The plant was set up by the Automotor's Car Company, which was founded in 1919 by local businessman John Gatenby. The company manufactured a range of three vehicles, the Model A, B and C.
During the 1930s, Automotor's Car Company began producing parts for several other car manufacturers, including Austin and Morris. In 1937, the company was taken over by Standard Motors and renamed Standard-Gatenby's. The plant closed in 1939 when Standard-Gatenby's went into liquidation.
After World War II, the remains of the plant were bought by Vauxhall Motors and used to produce the iconic Viva HC saloon and the Vauxhall Chevette hatchback. Production of these cars continued up until the early 1980s and the Vauxhall Chevette is still seen as a classic car to this day.
Beverley's Financial Industry
Beverley's finance industry also dates back to the early 1920s when J.H. Taylor Banking Co, a local private bank, was established in the town. Mr Tayor had previously been a partner at a local clothiers and drapery store, and had retained a number of investments, ranging from mining to building companies.
In 1929, J.H Taylor Banking Co was taken over by Lloyds and the business was renamed Lloyds Bank in Beverley, and the following year, Mr Taylor was appointed as the bank's first Managing Director.
Today, Lloyds Bank in Beverley is still a thriving business, with a range of services ranging from Personal Banking, Business Banking, Mortgages and Credit Cards amongst other financial services.
