Headingley is the Branch of
the Bank of Liverpool and Martins in Leeds, opening in 1924. Chapel Allerton and
28-30 Park Row will follow in 1926. These, along with five further Branches
and a Trustee and Investment Office, will be added between 1928 and 1969 -
the lifetime of the modern-day Martins Bank.
Although it could do with a
good clean on the outside, Martins Bank’s Branch at Headingley is shown here
in its prime in the 1960s, a self accounting sub branch under the control of
Leeds District Office. Headingley is
open for a full banking week and still able to give quick lending decisions,
and it is one of seven past and present branches of Martins in the City of
Leeds. It does not have any sub-Branches of its own, and sadly we have no
record either, of a visit from Martins Bank Magazine.
The Branch remains open
throughout the Second World War, and is Managed from 1943 to 1946 by one of
Martins’ many female Wartime Managers, Miss A S Tait. Headingley does make it
through the merger with Barclays in 1969, but is closed five years later. |
In Service: 21 July 1924 until 1974
