10.5 Martins
Bank’s Manchester Foreign Branch operates at the former Head Office of the
Mercantile Bank of Lancashire – Mosley Street – from 1930, until 1934 when
the Bank closes its Branch Counter service and moves the Foreign Department
to Manchester City Office at 47 Spring Gardens. Manchester Foreign eventually becomes known
as Manchester Overseas until the 1969 merger with Barclays, when the title
"Foreign" is used once more. Extract from Martins
Bank Annual Report and Accounts for 1929 © Barclays As Manchester Foreign is closed well before the first
edition of Martins Bank Magazine is published, there are no stories to bring
you from this particular branch. We of course have a page for Manchester
Overseas Branch, and we have found the of one member of staff whose service
includes two years at Mosley Street working in the Foreign Department, and
they make up the entire “Staff Gallery” below! |
