Ripponden
is opened by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1924, to complement what
was then their Halifax District. This
district comprises the Branches of the Halifax Commercial Bank that were
subsumed in 1920, and then added to by the new owners up to 1928.
Following
the amalgamations with the Halifax Equitable and Lancashire and Yorkshire
Banks in 1927 and 1928 respectively, the Halifax District is too small to
survive in addition to the Bank’s new Leeds District, which absorbs the
Halifax District. |

In Service: 11 February 1924 until 25 July
1942
