Hipperholme is opened in
1898 by the Halifax Commercial, a bank that merges with the Bank of Liverpool and Martins Limited in 1920. Whilst Martins Bank Magazine
does not visit the branch, we have two short articles below, concerning the
examination success of Graham White, and the retirement of Mr Broadley, who has,
unfortunately, been compelled to relinquish his role as Clerk in Charge at
Hipperholme due to long term health problems.
As well as this lovely exterior shot, we also have further images from
the Barclays Collection that show the interior of the branch, after its 1960s
modernisation. Sadly, this means that dear old Hipperholme has had to move
with the times and install bandit screens…

In Service: 1898 until August

 Once again, we
have a very satisfactory list of successful candidates in this year’s Institute
of Bankers’ Examinations to record, and we are well represented in the prize
list, also. In the Banking Diploma
Examination Part II, Graham White of Hipperholme Branch won the Whitbread
Diploma Prize for Finance of Foreign Trade and Foreign Exchange, and was also
awarded the first of the two Lombard Association Prizes for the same subject.

  mr broadley, Clerk-in-Charge of Hipperholme
branch, retired at the end of June for health reasons after 42 years'
service. He had been away from the
office on sick leave for some months and did not want any formalities on his
retirement, but many friends subscribed towards a motor mower and sent their
good wishes for a return to good health and many years of happy retirement.
Apart from five years with H.M. Forces and four
years at Wyke branch, followed by 14 years as Clerk-in-Charge at Hipperholme,
Mr Broadley's banking life had been spent at Halifax branch.
