Berwick
upon Tweed is the last outpost of Martins Bank in England, remaining the
closest Branch to Scotland, after it sells its interest in LEWIS’S BANK in 1967, losing the
Glasgow Branch of that bank. At
various points in the twentieth century, up to the merger with Barclays, the
Berwick upon Tweed area has a number of Martins Bank sub-Branches and
services. These are found at the main
Branch at HIDE HILL, and also at LOWICK, Berwick Corn Exchange,
and HOLY ISLAND.
There are two further sub-Branches, at TWEEDMOUTH and SPITTAL which are closed at the beginning of World
War Two, and not re-opened. Berwick
Corn Exchange, which nowadays is a housing development, houses a Branch of
Martins Bank until 1968.
