Martins Bank operates a number of tiny sub branches in the Colne
area, at Cottontree, Foulridge, Laneshaw Bridge, Primet Bridge, and
Trawden. Cottontree is opened by the
Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1919 but lasts only thirteen years, being
closed down in Martins Bank’s first branch reshuffle in the early 1930s. |
In Service: 1919 until 1932 |

At the time of opening, the Manager of Colne and its
sub-Branches is the luxuriously titled Mr J Lascelles Wildman. There are stilll a few things missing from
our Branch Details section below, so as ever we would appreciate your
help. At the time of the closure in
1932, the Manager of Colne Branch is Mr C J Verity who will progress from
Martins Bank’s Craven District to one of the highest positions in the Bank –
Chief General Manager. If you can help
with details or images relating to Cottontree or indeed any of the 1000+
buildings used by Martins Bank as branches between 1928 and 1969, please do
get in touch with us at the usual address martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com.
