Plymouth Dock Bank was established to serve the naval and dockyard community at what was then called Plymouth Dock — the town itself wasn't renamed Devonport until 1824. A five-pound note from 1819 places this squarely in the post-Napoleonic contraction, when dozens of English country banks were failing under deflationary pressure and a collapsing wartime economy. The dockyard workforce had shrunk sharply with the peace, and the local banking environment was precarious.
The bank survived into the 1830s, which puts it among the more durable provincial issuers of the period. The embossed stamp security feature was typical of English country bank practice before the era of machine-engraved vignettes displaced simpler authentication methods.
