Martins Bank 1928+

Just quietly getting on

                     with the job…

It’s all a bit unusual really – so many of Martins Bank’s Yorkshire branches have star billing, visits and pictures in Martins Bank Magazine, and a full gallery of staff images, but Rotherham doesn’t.  This branch seems to have slipped by into the past without a mention, having quietly got on with the job for thirty years.  This leaves us a little short of material for Rotherham’s page in our Archive.

In Service: 6 October 1947 until 30 October 1977

1950 s Rotherham Interior 1 BGA Ref 33-484.jpgWhilst there is little that we can tell you about Rotherham Branch, we are indeed fortunate to have a selection of images, and we have found four members of the staff for our gallery below.There is always the hope that one of you out there visiting our online archive might have memories or pictures that will help us give Rotherham branch a more prominent feature article.

If you can help with images and/or information about this or any of Martins Bank’s 1000 Branch Buildings, please do get in touch with us at the usual address martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com. Rotherham is part of Martins Bank’s Leeds District and is opened in 1947 by Manager Mr C Tindall.

This photograph (left) shows how the interior of the branch looked at that time, until the branch refurbishment programme of the mid-1960s. Typical of many refurbishments, Rotherham is brought up to date in 1965 with a sleek wood fronted counter (still without the need for security grilles) and a functional back office more suited to the computer age that is about to turn branch banking on its head…
