Visitors
to the Archive have been contributing stories of their time with the Bank
since the online archive launched in 2009. These anecdotes range from
ditching the rulebook in favour of “Spanish customs” at sub branches, to
complete career histories. Along the
way are many memories such as counting thousands of pounds in notes on the
top deck of a bus, and walking miles through snow and ice to make sure
customers could be served. So settle
back, for the following selection of your stories.

Caroline is a very lucky little girl – she gets to play
with an elephant, earn money and star in
Martins’
most iconic advertising campaign!
|
Mike Ludbrook is there when cameras film
the futuristic computer at Martins Unicorn for the
1968 TV ad that is missing to this day!

Chris Barker has a very full career, and becomes
perhaps the only person to work twice for Martins
and twice for Barclays!

 Julian Taylor is a long standing friend of the archive,
and has both visited our collection of Martins Bank Memorabilia, and
contributed to it greatly, with items, advice and memories, and images of
Keighley and some nearby Branches.
Having cut his banking teeth at Martins Bank in the late 1950s/early
1960s, Julian has a great fondness for this particular part of Craven
Country. Many of the stories he has
told for us relate to the quirkiness and unpredictability of sub-Branch
life. You can read them for yourself
