Looking
like a fairly modern house, Martins’ Branch at Hale is shown below as it was
in October 1908 when the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank had this artist’s
impression of their new Branch at Hale drawn for readers of THE BUILDING NEWS Magazine. In 1908 Hale is looked after by the Manager
of ALTRINCHAM and Bowdon, Mr A H M Gow. From Edwardian times right
through to 1973, a Banking service was transacted from these attractive premises.
A number of Martins Bank’s Cheshire branches (most of which are now
considered to be in Greater Manchester) are operated by the Lancashire &
Yorkshire Bank until the amalgamation with Martins takes place in 1928.
