Originally a branch of the
Craven Bank, Bradford Market Street Branch appears in the 1912 Post Office
Directory of Bradford as a branch of the Bank of Liverpool. This indicates its provenance as the merger
of the Craven Bank and the Bank of Liverpool, which takes place in 1906. A full address and a
telephone number are also listed.
Market Street is closed early in 1929, shortly after the creation of
the modern day Martins Bank. The
Annual Report and Accounts of the Bank of Liverpool and Martins for 1927
provides the following information about the fate of Market Street branch:
{Owing to the continued
increase in the Bank’s business in Bradford, the Office at Market Street had become
inadequate and the business was accordingly transferred to Tyrrel Street
Office, which has been considerably enlarged.} |
In Service: Prior to 1906 until 1 February 1929
