Mercantile Bank of Lancashire

The small photograph (below, left) of Martins Bank’s Branch at Heaton Mersey was taken in 1958 by Mr J Berry, a member of the Branch staff, and it was published in Martins Bank Magazine with the title:  “The bank at the Corner” A large number of the Bank’s Branches are concentrated in this part of Cheshire, where it snakes its way around parts of neighbouring Lancashire and Derbyshire.

Stockport Area

 

Heaton Mersey is one of three branches in close proximity to one another, the others being a further sub-Branch at Heaton Moor Top, and a full Branch at Heaton Chapel. Each was originally opened by a different bank, Heaton Chapel by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank, Heaton Moor top by Martins Bank Limited, and Heaton Mersey by the Mercantile Bank of Lancashire.

In Service: Pre 1904 until 14 April 1978

It is great to see the lovely (and slightly leaning) old style public telephone box outside Heaton Mersey Branch.  You can see another example of this particular type, on our page for MENSTON Branch.
