It would seem that Moreton
was always a good place to put a branch of Martins Bank, because it stays open
for more than fifty years before finally being victim to the mass cull of
bank branches, and scheduled for closure in January 2021. The images below
from Barclays’ collection of Martins Bank photos provide two views of the
interior at Moreton. |

Ref 0030/1939 The advertisment shown here
on the right was issued to the local press in the weeks leading up to the
opening day, and on Wednesday 22 February 1967 - the day before the Branch
opened. The “short hop” series of adverts was one of many to feature Percy
the Kangeroo, who it would seem always accompanies his owner on her trips to
the Bank… |
