Historically, the presence
of Martins Bank in the Blackburn area is a large one, with branches open at
one time or another at Darwen Street, Eanam, Mill Hill, Cherry Tree and Nova
Scotia. It is these last two suburbs
of Blackburn which have proven a little difficult to research, but thanks to
our friends at Blackburn with Darwen Borough
Council Community History Department, we
have at least been able to piece together some of the statistical information
about Martins’ sub-Branches there.
Novas sub-Branch is mentioned only once in Martins Bank Magazine, in the
Spring of 1951. This is to commemorate
the service of Mr W Wilby who retires at this point. Novas is his first appointment, and he
spends seven years in charge until further promotions take him to Blackburn,
and eventually to the managership of Burnley. Like so many of the Bank’s
tinier sub offices, Novas is closed in 1941 for the Second World War, and is
not re-opened. If you can help with images and/or information about this or
any of Martins 930+ other branch buildings, please do get in touch with us at
the usual address martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com.
