 Cleveleys
is a former branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank Limited, who have a
network of branches in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. In 1922 it is a sub office to Blackpool, and
along with the L and Y Bank’s other branches at Blackpool Corporation Street,
Blackpool Lytham Road and Blackpool South Shore, it is under the control of
two of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank’s Managers, Mr W Carrington and Mr C
H Bracewell. By the end of the 1960s
Cleveleys Branch has outgrown its original property, and a new office is
opened at 2a The Crescent. In 1968 Martins friends and colleagues gather at
Cleveleys to say goodbye to Mr Heathcote, Branch Manager for the previous
nine years. As ever, Martins Bank
Magazine is on hand to describe the festivities…
