New strong room door

Arrival of a new strong-room door at Barclay’s bank in High Street, Bideford, attracted a crowd of interested sightseers.

Weighing two tons, five hundred-weights, and manufactured by Messrs. Hobb, Hart and Company of London, the door travelled by rail to Bideford then by lorry and finally by crane to the bank.
