In the traditional layout of East Anglia - Norfolk Suffolk and Essex - Martins has just seven branches, four in NORWICH, and one each in KING’S LYNN, Ipswich and COLCHESTER. Martins’ southern expansion has been in full flow since the mid to late 1950s, but a significant number of new branches have been opened in the Midlands, Southern England, the South West and the South east. Sadly the Bank’s representation in East Anglia will not grow before the merger with Barclays, and so our branches here are like little outposts of the Martins Empire, each manned by a small, dedicated staff.
Ipswich joins a select few of our branches that start out in what are intened to be temporary premises, but end up occupying them for much longer than intended. ipswich is opened in 1939 at 11 Buttermarket, but the Bank has its eye on a much more appropriate site across the way at number 6. In a situation not helped by the inconvenience or the Second World War, it takes 18 years for the move to happen! You can meet the staff of the original branch on our page for IPSWICH 11 BUTTERMARKET, and read about the only visit made to Ipswich by Martins Bank Magazine – in 1950.
