 Martins
Bank’s Branch at Bexhill on Sea is
subject to fair amount of disruption and upheaval, as recorded by Alan Hill in his 1984
Booklet, MARTINS BANK BRANCHES IN SUSSEX. Having only
just opened a branch at 45 Devonshire Road in March 1939, Martins Bank is
forced to close it again end of 1940 when the town has to be evacuated following
the Fall of France. Accordingly,
Bexhill Branch transfers its business to EASTBOURNE 23 SEASIDE for
the next five and a half years before re-opening back in Bexhill in 1946,
this time at 18 Devonshire Road. Another sixteen years elapse and then the
branch is rebuilt! From 1961 to 1962
Bexhill moves to yet another temporary address, 18 Parkhurst Road, whilst the work is
completed. We have no images of this short-lived branch, and if you can help
with photos of this or any of Martins Bank’s 1000+ Branch buildings, please
do get in touch with us at the usual address – gutinfo@btinternet.com.
