Ripponden
is opened by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1924, to complement what
was then their Halifax District. This
district comprises the Branches of the Halifax Commercial Bank that were
subsumed in 1920, and then added to by the new owners up to 1928. |

Branches have been opened during the year at
Blackpool, Blyth, Borough Road (Birkenhead), Clubmoor (Liverpool), Harlesden (London)
and Hightown (Manchester); and Sub-Branches at Bamburgh, Headingey, Hendon
(Sunderland), New Eltham and Ripponden. New
Branches will be opened shortly at Bournemouth and Southampton. Premises for
New Branches have boon acquired at Farnborough (Kent), Meols (Cheshire) and
York. Extracts from Annual Report of The Bank

Following
the amalgamations with the Halifax Equitable and Lancashire and Yorkshire
Banks in 1927 and 1928 respectively, the Halifax District is too small to survive
in addition to the Bank’s new Leeds District, which takes on the Branches of
the Halifax District. At time of opening, Ripponden is a sub-Branch to
Sowerby Bridge 7 Town Hall Street. It is mothballed in July 1942 for the rest
of the Second world War, but is not reopened. |
