Martins
Bank’s tradition of running Auction Mart Branches in the North of England is
continued in the South from the 1950s onwards, with sub branches opened at a
number of Cattle Markets across England and Wales. Martins Bank opens a sub-Branch at the
Cattle Market on Salisbury’s Seammels Road in 1962, offering four hours of
service for customers each Tuesday.
A good stock of one of the Bank’s most successful
specialist finance booklets – FINANCE
FOR FARMERS AND GROWERS,
is maintained by every branch of the Bank. By the time Salisbury Cattle
Market branch is closed in 1968, this indispensible guide is into its
fifteenth year of publication and so popular, that Barclays continues to
produce it annually until the late 1980s, thus preserving another small, but
very important link with Martins Bank.
