Martins Bank’s sub-Branch at Onchan, occupies a prime corner position on
the main street. The history of the
Bank’s branches on the Isle of Man is told on our ISLE OF MAN page. During the
ownership of the six Manx Branches by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank,
Onchan sub-Branch opens on Tuesdays and Fridays.
By the time of the 1969
Merger of Martins and Barclays, Onchan is open full banking hours across the
six day banking week. On 24 January 1977 the business moves to a local
shopping centre, and this lovely old building is closed. Currently we have no
images of the staff who manned Onchan sub-Branch, although it would be
reasonable to assume that some of the staff from DOUGLAS will have served here. The Island staff definitely keep
things in the family, and down the years we have seen more than one
generation of both the Kermode and the Costain Families hard at work in the
Isle of Man Branches… |
This building was in Service:
1882 until 21 January 1977
