Bank of Liverpool and Martins

Sep 1.jpg

The Bank of Liverpool and Martins opens a sub Branch at Penrith Auction Mart in 1919.  Martins Bank’s Auction Mart sub-Branches can be found all over the North of England, and are more commonly known as Cattle Market Sub Branches in the South and in Wales.

These offices are invariably very busy, providing a service for farmers and livestock buyers, and they also represent a great deal of hard work for the staff of Martins Bank who often end their shift up to their eyeballs in banknotes to be counted – for a good example of this, why not read about life at Martins Bank’s YORK CATTLE MARKET sub-Branch.

In Service: 1919 until 31 January 1978
