Nenthead is a small mining village about 5 miles from Alston, and it sits some 1500 feet above sea level. We have very little information about Martins Bank’s sub-Branch at Nenthead which is closed in 1961. 

In Service: 1919 until 1961

This small office is opened in 1919 by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins Ltd, and the only recorded opening hours we can find, are from the Branch’s early days are from 1929, which are listed in Kellys Directory™ as Friday 1030 to 1100.  In the Spring of 1951 Mr R D Dawson is recorded as being promoted to the position of “Manager, Alston and Nenthead sub-branch”, and we believe this to be the only mention of Nenthead in Martins Bank Magazine.  This is a wonderfully remote and beautiful part of the country, and we’d love to know more about Martins’ forty-two-year stint here. If you have any memories or images that might help, please contact us at the usual address: martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com.
