Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank

Sep 1.jpg

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank opens this sub-Branch to its Rochdale Yorkshire Street Branch in 1911. In 1919 when the Bank of Liverpool and Martins absorbs the Palatine Bank, they also find themselves with a main Branch and a sub Branch at Rochdale. When everyone merge in 1928, this gives Rochdale FOUR branches of the newly created Martins Bank! This image of Rochdale Smallbridge sub-branch is taken about ten years after the 1928 merger of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank with the Bank of Liverpool and Martins.  It is the smaller of Rochdale’s two sub-branches, the other – at BUERSIL – is self accounting, and open for the full banking week.  Both make it into the hands of Barclays in 1969, but Smallbridge closes first – in 1989 – followed by Buersil in 1992.

In Service: 1911 until 28 April 1989
