  The
  presence of Martins Bank in the Staffordshire town of Leek dates back to 1928
  when a branch there is acquired from the merger of the Bank of Liverpool and
  Martins with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank.  It is this origin that places Leek within
  the Bank’s Manchester district. In 1960 sub-Branches of both Martins and
  Barclays opened at Leek’s Cattle Market at Barnfields.   Martins opens for business for four hours
  each Wednesday.   When Barclays takes
  over, there is room and need only for one sub-Branch, so the Martins office
  closes early in 1970.
