	Building society at AllExperts
		Over succeeding decades the number of societies has decreased, as various societies merged to form larger ones, often renaming in the process: most of the existing larger building societies are the end result of the mergers of many smaller societies.
		Building societies, in the classic form, were mutual organisations, jointly owned by those saving and borrowing.
		From the 1980s onwards, a number of societies, under pressure from members, `demutualised' to become commercial enterprises with shares of stock like any other company: members of the society would get a cash `windfall' - usually several hundred pounds, sometimes more - as their share of the assets of the society.

	The Woolwich plc -- Company History
		The appeal of the building society, apart from its ability to provide mortgages to the largely underpaid industrial workforce, lay precisely in its cooperative nature, during a time that saw the first stirrings of the union movement and a growing demand for democracy.
		The Woolwich prospered in the late 19th century; known by then as The Woolwich Equitable Building Society, the group was able to move to expanded headquarters, while remaining in the town of Woolwich.
		Woolwich announced that it too would be converting from a mutually held building society to a publicly held banking corporation in January 1996, with its public offering on the London stock exchange slated for 1997.

	Mutuality - Where are we now? :: BSA - Building Societies Association
		During the financial year building societies made 811,000 loans in total, compared to 736,000 in 2003; total lending amounted to over £59 billion, compared to £50 billion in 2003.
		Figures published by the BSA early in 2005 show that building societies enjoyed a very successful year in the savings market in calendar 2004, attracting £9.4 billion in net receipts (that is, after taking account of withdrawals from accounts), the highest since 1997, and well up on the £5.2 billion figure for 2003.
		The first is taken from the Woolwich Building Society Transfer Document in 1997, the second is from an FT interview in 1998 with John Stewart, the then Group Chief Executive, commenting on the departure of 25% of the group’s senior managers during and since the conversion process.

	Lenders use loan deals to inflate profits Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Among lenders which amortise are Nationwide, Woolwich and Northern Rock building societies, together with Abbey National, which added pounds 60m to its half-year results by spreading the effect of its incentives.
		Robert Jeens, the newly appointed group finance director at Woolwich Building Society, said that in the first half of this year, when it declared pounds 183m in profits, some pounds 45m of incentives paid to borrowers was amortised.
		Yorkshire Building Society said it too behaved "prudently" and did not amortise, preferring to take a hit immediately, even though it estimated the effect was to reduce by pounds 13m the pounds 40m profits it expects to make in 1996.

		WOOLWICH building society yesterday became the first "big five" mortgage lender to lift its savings rate, in an unexpected move that offered hope to pensioners and promised to defuse an industry-wide dispute over fixed-rate mortgages.
		But figures from the Association of Investment Trust Companies, published this week, showed 25 per cent of savers were frustrated by the low interest paid on their savings and either had, or were about to, abandon their accounts.

	Old North Woolwich railway station, Pier Road, North Woolwich, Newham, London
		In the end, it was the development of the nearby Royal Victoria Dock in the 1850s and the growth of factories on land bought by the railway company as grazing for cattle that brought prosperity to the line.
		Being slap in the middle of the bustling docks meant that the station was badly damaged during WW2, losing its canopies and turntable in a bombing raid on 7th September, 1940.
		The station building slowly rotted away and was eventually replaced by a modern, smaller ticket office nearby in 1979.
