In the meantime we will join Martins
Bank Mazagine as they visit Lytham early in 1959, not long after the branch
opens for business for the first time…

To have such a branch in a
part of the country where the Bank has been so long established is like a
breath of fresh air even on the breezy Lancashire coast. The Clerk-in-Charge is
Mr. A. Burt Briggs. who knows the coast and its problems well, although
he has been in Manchester since 1955.
Prior to the last war he spent several years at St. Annes, and after the
war he had nine years at Blackpool. He and his wife are well known in the
district and have identified themselves with the local activities in a number
of ways. During the war, Mr. Briggs was a prisoner of war of the Japs, in the
same camp as our Brigadier Toosey. Mr. R. Williamson is next in command and
the gentle sex is represented by Miss D. J. Evans. Mr. Mellor was Sub Manager at St. Annes from 1946 until
1952 and both Mr. Williamson and Miss Evans have had several years at the
same branch. With the nucleus of accounts which have naturally been
transferred to the new branch the staff feel quite at home in their new
surroundings. We were very pleased to meet
Mrs. Mellor and to have the pleasure of taking them both to lunch. Before her
marriage she was a Nursing Sister and her experiences in the Far East were
such as to make one wonder all over again at the resilience and fortitude of
the human spirit. |
