Martins Bank’s Gloucester Cattle Market branch is just eight years old when it closes in 1969 as part of the preparations for the merger with Barclays Bank.

Barclays has of course, to look very carefully at where duplication of branches and/or service might occur, and decide to close either a Martins or Barclays outlet accordingly. This also ensures that the best building for the job is retained.

In Service: 1961 until 28 February 1969

In many cases, the Martins branch in a particular town occupies a much more prime site, or has a much bigger premises than Barclays. On this occasion however, along with the cattle market branches at BANBURY and NORWICH, Martins must say goodbye to its operation at Gloucester Cattle Market…
