Burnley
is a town that gets to know Martins Bank very well over the years. At various times there have been Branches
at both No 7 and No 13 Hargreaves Street, St James
Street, Brierfield, Colne Road, Duke Bar Habergham and Manchester Road. These are a mixed bag of Branches, mainly
from the Craven Bank merger of 1906, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank
merger of 1928, apart from Manchester Road which is a completely new Branch
built and opened by Martins Bank in 1963.
In the days of the Craven Bank, the Branch is known as Colne
Road, and this is Changed to Duke Bar in 1926 by the Bank of Liverpool and
Martins. |

Just as well really, as the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank also
has a Branch in Colne Road, which will become a Martins Bank Branch in 1928.Duke
Bar falls victim to the first of three periods of Branch consolidation by
Martins, and is closed in 1931. Some
Branches - especially in areas where
the Bank’s representation is already strong - are axed following the
rebuilding in 1930 of 68 Lombard Street and the construction of Martins’ new
Head Office in Liverpool, which opens in 1932.
