Brave New World… |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The story of our Exeter
branches has so far involved the complete destruction of our original branch
in a devastating air raid, and making do in small and uncomfortable premises
for nearly nine years. The waiting is
finally over, and in 1951 we move into a brand new and purpose built branch. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The architect
commissioned to design the new branch of Martins Bank Exeter paints this
detailed watercolour picture in 1950. A site is chosen opposite that of the
previous building, and will be known as number 6 Bedford Street.
|
This is the building that was actually
completed, and it does conform fairly well to the architect’s vision. Sadly,
the building at 6 Bedford Street is no longer a bank, but a reminder of its’
days as Martins Bank is still there in the form of Martins’ COAT OF ARMS which can still be seen,
above the door. |
