99
Stanley Road is the only one of the Bootle branches NOT to have been opened
by the Bank of Liverpool – it comes to Martins Bank in 1928 through the amalgamation
of the Bank of Liverpool and Martins with the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Bank. In
1964, Martins Bank Magazine visits all four of the surviving Bootle Branches
(a fifth, at Bootle Strand Road, closed in 1941). The accompanying article
lists 99 Stanley Road as a sub branch to 211 Stanley Road, but by the time of
the merger with Barclays, our records show it to be a full branch. |

At
this time also, 325 Derby Road Bootle is the main Bootle branch, so it is clear that a major re-shuffle
of the power of Bootle’s branches takes place in the last five years of
Martins’ existence. The
fourth of our branches in Bootle - 99 Stanley Road, formerly part of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Bank - opened in April 1889. Today it is a sub branch to 211
Stanley Road and the recent installation of a night safe has provided a
welcome opportunity for modernisation of the main office. It was our first
call on the day we visited the Bootle branches and it was here that we first
met the big Bootle smile which, in a heavily industrialised area, acted as a
tonic.
