Barrowford sub branch moves to Gladstone Terrace from Holmfield View in august 1951.  It survives the merger with Barclays and lasts until 1992.  Barrowford operates as a sub-Branch to Nelson, and is a busy little office, open for sixteen hours each week across the full six-day banking week operating until Saturday closure is implemented in July 1969.

On the inside, the branch is a somewhat alarming vision of woodgrain that almost hides the door to the interview room.  Much more tasteful is the lovely Martins branded feature window outside, and this begs the question – where is it now?
