Martins Bank’s sub-Branch
at Lowick, is opened by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in January 1922. Its parent
branch, Berwick upon Tweed has at various times over the years been in charge
of a number of sub-Branches and services –
Berwick upon Tweed Corn Exchange, the banking service to Holy Island, and the
sub-Branches at Spittal, Tweedmouth and Lowick. |
In Service: January 1922 until May 1969

Lowick joins a large number of small branches closed for the duration of
World War 2, due to the staffing shortages created by the demands of the
Kennet Committee who are charged with calling up men from various occupations
to fight for King and Country. The last reference we have to Lowick being
open, is from Martins Bank’s “Green Book” - a Branch Directory printed in
Summer 1968, and the details are shown in the specification section
below. Barclays tell us they do not
have a record of the exact date Lowick closed for good, and some time in May
or June 1969 seems likely. If you can help with information about this or any
of Martins Bank’s 980+ branch buildings, please do get in touch with us at
the usual address: martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com
