The Bank
of Liverpool and Martins opens a sub branch at Hendon in Sunderland in
1924. It is one of a long line of
branches in this part of the North East, many of which come to Martins Bank
through the merger of the North Eastern Bank with the Bank of Liverpool.
In advertisements
like this one, taken out by the bank in the local press in 1929, the generic
details include the latest financial results and the number of branches of
the bank. Six Sunderland Branches are mentioned by name, with Fawcett Street
and Chester Road being important local main branches, to which Hendon,
Millfield, Monkwearmouth and Southwick are sub-Branches.
We have
most of the branch details in the Branch Information section below, but sadly
no images of Hendon sub-Branch have yet surfaced...
This
Branch first appears in the Annual Report and Accounts of the Bank of
Liverpool and Martins in 1924, where it is listed as a sub-Branch to
Sunderland (20 Fawcett Street).
During
the lifetime of the modern-day Martins Bank, there will have a total of
eleven Branches and sub-Branches in Sunderland, including temporary offices.
Hendon
sub-Branch is closed by Martins in 1964, and replaced by another nearby in GRANGETOWN. Whilst this is a
modernised replacement, it is unfortunately surplus to Barclays’
requirements, and is closed in the Summer of 1969 before the merger takes
place…
If you
can help with images and/or information about this or any of the almost 1000
premises that have been used as Branches of Martins Bank, please do get in
