Our occasional appeals to our
visitors to look through their family albums have thrown up all manner of
treasures so far, but perhaps none has been more spectacular than this image
of Martins Bank’s Newton le Willows Branch.
Opened under the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank, the building is only a
branch of Martins for three years, closing in 1931.

As the amalgamation of the
Bank of Liverpool and Martins with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank is
announced on 30 November 1927 and takes effect from 1 January 1928, we assume
that this picture is from early 1928, as the Martins Bank Signage can be seen
clearly on the railings outside the building.
You can read more about Mr Jones’ career on our CADISHEAD page, this being the branch he retires from in 1955.

This makes the image on the right very
precious indeed, even more so when the people pictured are the wife and son
of the Clerk in Charge, Mr H I Jones!
