At some point between Martins Bank Magazine’s 1964 visit to Bootle, and the merger with Barclays in 1969, the status of each of the four Bootle branches changes. Derby Road becomes a sub-branch to 211 Stanley Road, and 99 Stanley Road, originally a sub branch to 211 Stanley, becomes a full branch! Are you with it, so far? (Don’t worry, There will be a written test at the end). We have split the Magazine article into four in order to provide some information about each branch on the relevant page of this site.

The second of our Bootle branches to open was 211 Stanley Road on February 21st 1898. By the time this issue appears Mr A. H. Clague will have entered into well-earned retirement in which foreign travel is to feature after he has gone 'back to school' to learn German. We have said nothing about the younger members of the staff for the simple reason that until just over a year ago we were not only responsible for them but had actually recruited many of them. Meeting them again gave a big boost to our morale and we see no reason whatever for failing to say so. Like Bootle, we were providing for the future.
