Visitors to the Archive have
been contributing stories of their time with the Bank since the online
archive launched in 2009. These anecdotes range from swapping the rulebook for
“Spanish customs” at sub branches, to complete career histories. Along the way are many memories such as
counting thousands of pounds in notes on the top deck of a bus, and walking
miles through snow and ice to make sure customers could be served. So settle back, for the following selection
of YOUR STORIES.

 Julian Taylor is a long standing friend of the
archive, and has both visited our collection of Martins Bank Memorabilia, and
contributed to it greatly, with items, advice and memories, and images of
Keighley and some nearby Branches.
Having cut his banking teeth at Martins Bank in the late 1950s/early
1960s, Julian has a great fondness for this particular part of Craven Country. Many of the stories he has told for us
relate to the quirkiness and unpredictability of sub-Branch life. You can read them for yourself by clicking
