The Halifax Equitable Banking Company has a variety of titles before it finally settles on “The Equitable Bank” prior to merging with the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1927. Batley Carr is first on the list of inherited branches in the Bank’s new but extremely short-lived Halifax District. After only six months, a further amalgamation – this time with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank – creates the modern-day Martins Bank. At this point the Halifax District is dropped as unsustainable in favour of the new Bank operating a Leeds District. Then, following the arrival of so many Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank Branches, Batley Carr is put into MANCHESTER district! As is usual with many of the older branches and sub-Branches of Martins, we do not have a photograph of the Batley Carr Branch, which survives under Martins Bank’s ownership until 1934…
