Bank of Liverpool and Martins

Sep 1.jpg

As a County Borough of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Leeds is an important City. It is home to one of Martins Bank’s decentralised District Offices. This means that local businesses don’t have long to wait for decisions on borrowing requests, and that such decisions will take into account local financial conditions. The Bank also has a Trustee and Investment Department at Leeds.  Of the nine Leeds branches and departments that at one time or other carry the name of Martins Bank, Leeds Oakwood and Headingley branches are both opened in the early 1920s by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins, following their takeover of the Halifax commercial Banking Company. Whilst this branch survives only until 1974, Oakwood is a little more useful to Barclays and remains in service for sixty-five years, the doors being closed for the final time at the end of 1992.  

 

In Service: 26 February 1927until 4 December 1992

Under Martins Bank, Oakwood is a sub branch to Chapel Allerton, and provides a counter service over a six-day full banking week. Saturday morning opening is withdrawn by all banks in England and Wales by the end of 1968 following pressure from the Banking Staff Associations and the Banking Union.
