 Martins
Bank operates a number of successful cattle market branches, and many of them
are inherited from the various banks that came together to form the
modern-day Bank in 1928. Many more
were opened by Martins right up to the mid 1960s. Others such as the Kendal and Lancaster
Auction Mart branches remained opened well into the first decade of the
twenty-first Century. Chester Cattle Market was a sub-branch operated by the
Bank of Liverpool and Martins and was opened in November 1922.
It was closed permanently only a few years later – shortly
after the amalgamation of the Lancashire and Yorkshire with the Bank of
Liverpool and Martins which created the modern-day Martins Bank Limited.
