Martins Bank’s temporary
Branch at 19 Heaton Road Byker is one of many premises up and down the land
that are leased for between six months and two and a half years so that original
Branch buildings can undergo redecoration, alteration, and in a few cases a
complete rebuild. A doctor’s surgery stands today on the site of 19 Heaton
Road, the original building used by Martins having been bullbozed to make way
for new development of this part of Byker.
The alterations at Byker take just over a year to complete, and the
interior of the original Branch at 2 Addison Road looks all the better for it
when it re-opens in September 1962:
