Bingley
Branch is full of character, and is opened in 1883 by the Craven Bank. Twenty-three years later, the Craven
amalgamates with the Bank of Liverpool, and the chain of mergers that leads
to the modern-day Martins Bank has begun. Bingley Branch is fondly remembered
by former Martins Staff, who know that by having a whole District in “God’s
own County” Martins can’t be all that bad.
We are
forever indebted to Martins Colleague the late Julian Taylor who, amongst
many other items of interest kindly provided the Archive with this charming
1940s image of the Branch at Bingley shown below (centre). The Barclays collection of Martins Bank
photos provides the other exterior and interior shots of the Branch. |

Sadly,
Bingley does not survive to see its own centenary, and it is closed by
Barclays in 1972, at the ripe old age of 89! |
