At the time of the merger in 1906 of The Craven Bank with Bank of Liverpool, there are fifteen main branches, including the Skipton Head Office, and a further twenty-six sub branches including Brierfield, near Burnley.   The later absorption of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank brings together a number of branches in the Burnley area, and between 1906 and 1969, if we include a new branch built in 1963, a total of EIGHT Martins’ branches and sub branches have existed there - 7 Hargreaves Street, 13 Hargreaves Street, Duke Bar, Manchester Road,  St James Street, Brierfield, 111 Colne Road and Habergham.  Brierfield does enough banking business to warrant full opening hours each week including Saturday morning. 

In Service: 1899 until 17 June 1988

One or two chimney pots may have disappeared, but apart from that, Brierfield Sub Branch is just about recognisable today. Brierfield survives the merger with Barclays, and closes its doors as a bank for the final time on 17 June 1988….
