Bank of Liverpool and Martins

Ripponden is opened by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1924, to complement what was then their Halifax District.  This district comprises the Branches of the Halifax Commercial Bank that were subsumed in 1920, and then added to by the new owners up to 1928. 

Following the amalgamations with the Halifax Equitable and Lancashire and Yorkshire Banks in 1927 and 1928 respectively, the Halifax District is too small to survive in addition to the Bank’s new Leeds District, which absorbs the Halifax District.

In Service: 11 February 1924 until 25 July 1942
