1930RMartins 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.

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!

In Service: 1898 until 1934
