Fort Montague Bank. I Promise o pay Mr John Flag or Bearer on Demand Five Halfpence. Value received _ 18_. Ent.d C Cannon. For the Governor of Fort Montague & Co. E. Hill.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Scarce engraving. Sheet 100 x 175mm (4 x 6¾"). Laid on album paper.
A skit note, proporting to be a banknote, but published from a house in Knaresborough, Yorkshire. Cut from a limestone cliff by linen weaver Thomas Hill and his son 1770-1, the odd house resembled a fort, so acquired the name 'Fort Montague'. Hill, an eccentric, knighted himself and started calling himself governor of the fort, publishing these 'banknotes' which were intended as entry tickets for the house. Others started trying to defraud people with them, so the authorities eventually stopped them being printed. The house remained in the family until 1996; it is Grade II listed.
