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.
