Martins Bank opens its Branch at 2 Hardshaw Street St Helens in April 1949. Ten years later the building is due to be demolished and rebuilt as part of the new Town Centre plans.

The Branch Staff is moved temporarily to 21 Church Street, where business is transacrted for almost two years before the move back to hardshaw Street. It is not suprising then, that we have no pictorial evidence of this short lived Branch, and no mention of it in Martins Bank Magazine.

In Service as a temporary branch 1959 until 1961
