Ingleton is a spectacular village in the West Riding of Yorkshire,
that like so many of its neighbouring towns and villages is forced to use a
postal address that implies quite wrongly that it is in Lancashire! Whether taking part in the famous Three
Peaks Race, buying a Wensleydale cheese, walking the moors or just admiring
the view, those who have visited the Martins sub-Branch there have always
received a warm welcome from staff who go to extremes to be helpful. The main branch is at Bentham, from where
staff are sent to Ingleton each Tuesday and Friday for the banking
convenience of locals and visitors alike.
Ingleton Branch remains open at Main Street after the merger with
Barclays but it is closed in the Summer of 1977 and moved to new premises in
The Square.
At its new address the Branch lasts a further thirty-eight years,
closing in March 2015. Bentham and Ingleton are original branches of the
Craven Bank, and both were sub Brnaches to Settle until 1950 when Bentham
became a full Branch with Ingleton as its sub-Branch. Our images from
Barclays’ collection show this little office in the early 1960s (right), and
at the time of the merger of Martins Bank with Barclays Bank in 1969 (below),
where we can see from the signs in the window that Barclaycard is already
welcome, and customers are reminded exactly who the new owners of their
Branch are… |
In Service: pre 1906 until Friday 13 March 2015
