North Eastern Banking Company

 

The North Eastern Banking Company opens its branch in Shiney Row in 1908, at 30 Westbourne Terrace. Here, from the NEBC’s branches list for 1913, we see Shiney Row Branch listed as being opened on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Under Martins, those opening hours will eventually extend to a full six day banking week.

In Service: 1908 until 11 June 1966

As banking services and branches are in great demand, expansion is also on the cards. By the early 1960s, Martins Bank is looking at alternative premises for many of the older branches it inherited, and in June 1966 the sub Branch at Shiney Row closes its doors on one side of the road, and opens up a couple of days later on the other. Martins places an advertisement in local newspapers to announce the move to new premises from 13 June 1966.  Sadly, we haven’t yet been able to find images of 30 Westbourne Terrace, but you can see the NEW premises on our page for SHINEY ROW at 7 Westbourne Terrace.
