One essential feature of the MARTINPLANNING Information Wallet – which is first issued to customers in 1966 – is the List of Branches of Martins Bank. At this stage the Bank has just reached the pinnacle of its success, but this success is also just beginning to cost a lot of money. With big changes still just out of sight around the corner, there is no reason to believe the Bank will not continue its exponential growth as the only major independent English joint stock bank, to be based outside London. However, times are about to change radically, heralding not only the adoption of a decimal currency in the UK, but also the merger with Barclays - as you can read in our feature BEGINNING OF THE END. When the Martinplanning lists are printed in 1966/7 the Bank still has almost 750 Branches and sub-Branches in Enland, Wales, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Even more Branches will be opened within the twelve months before news of the merger with Barclays brings about the beginning of the end for Martins Bank. In this section, we have listed branches mainly in alphabetical order, with some large towns and cities having their own lists of branches and sub branches from which you can choose. For example:

A B C D E F G H etc…	–	Alphabetical lists of Branches

LEEDS LONDON etc…	–	Principal District Branches / sub Branches and services

BURY KENDAL WORTHING etc…	–	Smaller towns or cities with three or more Branches / sub Branches

The Branches that were still open still open at 31 December 1968 are shown in our listings in DARK RED, those already closed at various points in the history of Martins Bank are shown in BLUE CAPITALS, along with the dates they were closed. Use the grid to help you to jump straight to the different towns, cities or sections of the alphabet, and your browser’s back button to return to the grid to make another selection.
