Waters, Jones & Co. operated as the Carmarthen Bank through the first decades of the nineteenth century, one of scores of Welsh country banks functioning without formal incorporation — entirely dependent on the personal credit of their partners. The 1826 Country Bankers Act had forced many such institutions into crisis or merger, and those still issuing in 1828 were doing so on borrowed confidence as much as borrowed capital.
Welsh country bank notes of this period survive in tiny numbers. Most were redeemed promptly or destroyed by the issuing house itself once withdrawn from use, and provincial Welsh examples were never systematically preserved by collectors the way English country notes were.
