Oldham Union Street and the sub-Branch at nearby Werneth are both original
Branches of the Palatine Bank, which is absorbed into Bank of Liverpool and Martins
in 1919. The Oldham branches are, therefore, well established offices by the
time of the creation of Martins Bank Limited in 1928, when they are joined by
a THIRD Oldham
branch which arrives on the scene from the portfolio of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Bank. |

As we have seen elsewhere in the Online Archive, duplication of branches
often results in the closure of one or more Branches in a particular town, and
in 1930 Martins Bank takes the decision to close Union Street in favour of
the slightly more grand looking former Landcashire and Yorkshire Bank Branch
in Yorkshire Street.
