Moreton is a self accounting sub Branch to Wallasey, and opens in 1967. It is normal for this type of branch to open for six days across the full banking week. A Clerk in Charge takes the place of a Manager and deals with most of the day to day needs of customers, and the Branch processes its own day’s work. Mr W A Inglis, the first Pro Manager/clerk Clerk in Charge of this branch is still in his position at the time of the merger with Barclays in 1969.

It would seem that Moreton was always a good place to put a branch of Martins Bank, because it is still open today. The following images from Barclays’ collection of Martins Bank photos provide two views of the interior at Moreton.
