Bradford is another town which,
prior to the creation of the modern day Martins Bank in 1928, has branches of
several of the banks that will by amalgamation find themselves part of the
new Business. The Branch on the corner
of Kirkgate and Bank Street is an original office of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Bank, which amalgamates with the Bank of Liverpool and Martins
Limited in 1928. Who says that banks
changing their names and closing branches is a twenty-first century
issue?

In 1928 the Bank has to consolidate its position in many
towns and cities, by keeping open the best Branches, and downgrading or
closing altogether those which are considered to be “surplus to
requirements”.
As a branch of the newly formed Martins Bank, “Corner of
Kirkgate and Bank Street” is listed in the Bank’s Annual Report and Accounts,
but it is closed early in 1928. |
