Reed and Son’s legacy is the branch at Liverpool’s Stanley Cattle
Market, and those at the Cattle Markets held at Salford and Wakefield. Manchester Mode Wheel Cattle Market
replaces two cattle market agencies at Salford, one of which is surplus to requirements,
having been inherited through the merger of the Bank of Liverpool and Martins
and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank in 1928. By 1969 there will have been
around thirty branches of this type open at some time during the lifespan of the
modern day Martins Bank. In 1931 the
Cattle Market at Salford, and with it and the former Bank of Liverpool and
Martins agency, moves a little closer to the dockside as it
were, to Mode Wheel Locks, which offers the last dock before Salford. Business
is transacted here for another nine years, then the Branch is mothballed for
World War Two, but not re-opened.
