Martins Bank’s sub-Branch at Wrexham Cattle Market opens in 1959 in this wonderful corrugated-roofed building. Unfortunately this is the only photograph of the Branch, so we can’t tell what the nearby buildings look like. Redolent more of a public convenience than the Branch of a Bank, Martins’ customers can use it for just three hours on a Monday, which we will assume to be cattle trading day. Quite a few of the Bank’s Cattle Market/Auction Mart branches survive merging with Barclays, and some of them even remained open into the early part of the Twenty-First Century. Wrexham Cattle Market is not quite so lucky, being kept open as a Branch of Barclays until 1975.				Image © Barclays Ref 0030/3303
