In a sort of game of “musical Branches”, Martins Bank’s
business in Plymouth actually has three homes. The Bank opens up shop for the first time
on 2 January 1939 in GEORGE STREET. In 1951 it is
forced by post-war demolition plans to move to temporary premises in WESTWELL STREET opposite the Guildhall, and finally in 1957 a Branch new
Branch in Armada Way forms part of a new shopping development in the Cornwall
Street area.

Martins Bank Magazine visits Plymouth only once, in 1949,
and you can read the article by clicking on the Plymouth George Street link
