Truth is found once again, to be stranger than fiction, when in 1928 as
the new Martins Bank Limited is created, it finds itself with THREE pairs of
identically named Branches at Cattle Markets in the North of England! At Liverpool’s Stanley Cattle Market, the
Bank of Liverpool and Martins inherited an Agency from the Cattle Trade Bank
in 1925. |

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank has also been running an Agency there,
and when the two Banks are amalgamated, twin Cattle Agencies also result in
Salford and Wakefield! At Stanley
Cattle Market the L and Y Bank Agency is closed in 1928. At the Cattle Market
itself, plans have been made to construct a modern abattoir, where the Banks
and their Agents can be accomodated in modern, purpose (brick) built premises
with their name above the door. This
is achieved in 1930, when the former Cattle Trade Agency moves in to what
will become known as STANLEY ABATTOIR BRANCH, a sub office to the Bank’s Branch at Liverpool
Kensington.
