1990 list of Managers and premises from 1885 - 1990
and list of Assistant Managers 1916 - 1986 provided by David Jobson, who says: "Ah, the old Pitt&B. I was general hand hand here in '69 - 70. Manager was Alec Mawson, Accountant Toby Haywood. A very busy branch in those days with the Board of Fire Commissioners accounts, a couple of agencies and a stack of overseas work. 
 I remember the cash counts used to take half a day to complete. We would all traipse downstairs into the bowels of the branch and sit at long tables with great stacks of notes to count. I think sometimes we had around the $3m amount in notes to count."
