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.
