I’m not sure how well the term “High Street Bank” works these days. Does anyone’s town/city still have any accessible physical branches on an actual high street?
Perhaps they could start opening “high street banks” in old, disused former Wetherspoonses.

Well we have several on market street (probably what most people would think of as the high street) in Manchester, but perhaps that’s probably the exception rather than the rule compared to most of the rest of the country.

Yeah, I think they do still have some of them in most city centres, which kind of makes sense (if you were closing 95% of your branches, those are the ones you’d keep) - though it’s a long way from when there used to be a few different branches in every town centre, and amongst the small local rows of shops in housing areas i.e. the local high street.
