 Rochdale South Parade and the sub-Branch at Buersil are original
  Branches of the Palatine Bank, which are absorbed into Bank of Liverpool and Martins
  in 1919. These are therefore well established offices by the time of the
  creation of Martins Bank Limited in 1928, when a further THREE Rochdale area
  branches – Yorkshire Street, Littleborough and Smallbridge – are added from
  the portfolio of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank.    |

   As for the two branches in Rochdale town centre, we have seen elsewhere in
  our Archive that duplication of branches often results in the closure of one
  or more Branches, and in 1928 Martins Bank takes the decision to close South
  Parade in favour of the larger former Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank Branch in
  Yorkshire Street.
