Worth around $50 billion, Barclays was founded in 1690 by John Freame and Thomas Gould after they started trading as goldsmith bankers on London's Lombard Street. Once Freame retired in 1736, his son-in-law James Barclay became a partner in the bank. In 1958 Barclays became the first UK bank to appoint a female branch manager.
