At Trimdon Grange (the heartland of a certain notorious former British Prime Minister), the newly created Martins Bank Limited opens one of the first new sub-Branch under the Bank’s new name in 1929. The parent branch is Sedgefield, which also has a sub-branch at Fishburn.

Despite opening for only three hours a week, Trimdon Grange is taken over by Barclays in 1969, and continues to run as a sub-Branch until 1980, which is not bad at all for one of Martins Bank’s large collection of “front room” based offices!

In Service: 25 October 1929 until 30 June 1980
