It is always nice when pieces of evidence are available to confirm (or deny) key details about a particular Branch.  In bringing you nearly 990 Branch sites for Martins Bank, we have naturally used a colossal amount of historical information. 

In Service: Pre 1922 until 1928

In some cases there might only be one source, if we are lucky, two or more really “seals the deal” as it were. Colne holds a fascinating place in our list of Martins Bank Branches.  For such a quiet little town, tucked away in deepest Lancashire, Colne has what might seem to be a disproportionate share of Branches and sub Branches.   There is, we know, no substitute for a picture of a particular Branch, but without that luxury, Martins Bank’s own branch listings and the immensly valuable Phone Book entries have helped us out many times!  The original Craven Bank Branch at Church Street is retained in favour of the L & Y Bank’s Market Street Office, which is closed by the end of 1928.
