Equitable Bank

The existing branch at 6 & 8 Cloth Hall Street was inherited was inherited by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins just one year earlier from the Equitable Bank.  A review concludes that Cloth Hall Street should close, and a widespread consolidation takes place in Martins Bank’s Branch network between 1928 and 1932, the resultant shake up designed to provide the best spread of Branches and sub-Branches in the North, and the resources to begin an ambitous expansion in the South and West of England and the Channel Islands. Sadly, there are no images of Cloth Hall Street Branch, but the information we have about this Branch and its history, are shown below.
