at the end of January Mr J. H. Thomas, Manager at Maghull since 1955, retired. Despite Mr Thomas's request that the occasion be a quiet one, some thirty colleagues, past and present, gathered at the branch on the evening before his official retirement to pay tribute and to wish him well. The presentation of a nest of occasional tables was made by Mr I. Buchanan (Liverpool District General Manager) who spoke of the loyal service given to the Bank by Mr Thomas over the past forty-four years, and of his successful nine years of management at Maghull branch. A bouquet was handed to Mrs Thomas whom everyone was delighted to see and then Mr Thomas in a short but sincere speech thanked all those concerned for their kind thoughts and good wishes. He concluded by inviting everyone to adjourn to the banking hall where the counter had been transformed into a buffet table more than adequately laden for the celebration of such an occasion. Entering the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank in 1920, Mr Thomas served at Old Trafford and Eastbank Street branches prior to the amalgamation. After three years at Birkdale branch he moved in 1932 to Linacre from which branch he entered H.M. Forces in 1942. After the war he spent nine years at Bootle branch before his appointment as Manager at Maghull in 1955.
