Palatine Bank

Sep 1.jpg

Rochdale South Parade and the sub-Branch at Buersil are original Branches of the Palatine Bank, which are absorbed into Bank of Liverpool and Martins in 1919. These are therefore well established offices by the time of the creation of Martins Bank Limited in 1928, when a further THREE Rochdale area branches – Yorkshire Street, Littleborough and Smallbridge – are added from the portfolio of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank. 

In Service: Pre 1919 until end of 1928

As for the two branches in Rochdale town centre, we have seen elsewhere in our Archive that duplication of branches often results in the closure of one or more Branches, and in 1928 Martins Bank takes the decision to close South Parade in favour of the larger former Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank Branch in Yorkshire Street.
