Steven Hargreaves was responsible for the kind gesture at the NatWest bank in York Street two days before the branch closed recently.
He was joined by his 13-year-old grandson, George, who has accompanied him on his bank trips since he was a tot when he would sit on the counter while his grandfather paid cheques in for his company, Steven Hargreaves Textile Group.
