Martins Bank’s sub-Branch at
 Wrexham
Cattle Market opens in 1959 in this wonderfully quirky building complete with
its corrugated roof. 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. Many of
Martins Bank’s Cattle Market (also known as Auction Mart) Branches survive
the merger with Barclays, and some of them even remain 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 only until 1975.
