Craven Bank

There are many examples in the online archive, of Martins Bank’s “front room” style sub-Branches, but none of them looks as much like a large town house, as Whalley, sub to Clitheroe.  Even in close up (above) it is difficult to believe that people actually walk through that front door to transact banking business.  Surely you’d be more likely to see a few kids playing ball, and perhaps a dog scampering about in the driveway?  Whalley makes it through the merger, and in 1975 Barclays finds new premises a little further down King Street.  At the time of the merger, Whalley opens virtually full banking hours across the six day banking week, but many branches are soon to be given a late opening weekday instead of Saturday morning, as the banking unions press hard for a five day week.
