By the early 1920s, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank runs five cattle market agency branches – at Liverpool (open Mondays) Salford (Tuesdays) Wakefield (Wednesdays), York (Thursdays), and Birkenhead (Daily). They appoint Mr Thomas Brown as overall Manager of the five branches, with Mr John Currie as local Manager at Birkenhead Woodside Lairage, as this office is open each day. This type of branch will grow in importance during the lifetime of the new Martins Bank, with many being opened at Auction Marts in the North of England, and Cattle Markets in the Midlands, Wales and the South. Salford Cattle Market Branch survives until 1931, when Martins makes its first round of branch closures – consigning a number of small outlets to history over the period 1931 to 1935.
