Bank of Liverpool and Martins

At the end of 1924 the Bank of Liverpool and Martins closes the former Salterforth Branch of the Craven Bank, and moves it from Salterforth Old School to new premises in Main Street.  However, following the merger of the Bank of Liverpool and Martins and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank, a number of smaller sub-Branches are sought out for closure.

In Service: 2 January 1925 until 1931
