Bank of Liverpool and Martins

The area in and around Middlesbrough is so linked with the North-East of England, that sometimes it’s hard remember that it is historically part of Yorkshire. This is Martins Bank’s Linthorpe branch in the 1930s, and like many from this period it has a basic shop window with a curtain to offer some semblance of privacy for customers from the gaze of those in the street. The window lettering of the word BANK is reminiscent of banks shown in American Westerns – Whether or not customers would turn up here in Stetsens and boots with spurs on, and “hitch up their critters” to a post outside is a question we find difficult to answer!

In Service: 1 November 1927 until 22 November 1985

Locating a branch in a rented shop unit is forward thinking for this time, and since 2007 Barclays has itself been moving out of freehold traditional bank styled premises into rented shop fronts that can be moved if the “footfall” of customers changes.  Opened in November 1927 by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins, Oxford Road Linthorpe sub-Branch lasts until 1985, when along with Middlesbrough Parliament Road, it is closed forever.  Not self-accounting, but open full banking hours over six days, this is likely to have been a busy little branch in Martins’ day…
