It was turned into National &Provincial which then turned into Abbey National finally Santandair,Ime pretty sure anyway!

My morgage started life with the Burnley, and ended up with Santandair (who locally are in the old Abbey National premises).

Big Dave is absolutely right. We started out with Burnley Building Society and are now with Santander.

I rather think the main picture here is the Borough Building Society not the Burnley Building Society. The Burnley was further in the distance.
