Boldon Colliery is a large mining village in County Durham, with a postal address of Newcastle upon Tyne. There is a long and distinguished history of mining here, which is meticulously documented at the Durham Mining Museum’s web site www.dmm.org.uk.

A sub-Branch to Tyne Dock is opened at Boldon Colliery by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1922, but it lasts only until 1932.

In Service: 14 August 1922 until 1932

The Bank opens fifteen new branches and sub-Branches in 1922, but many small sub-Branches are closed in the period 1930-1933, and this seems to coincide with the Bank incurring huge costs of rebuilding 68 Lombard Street London Office, and the construction of the new Head Office in Liverpool.
