99 Stanley Road is the only one of the Bootle branches NOT to have been opened by the Bank of Liverpool – it comes to Martins Bank in 1928 through the amalgamation of the Bank of Liverpool and Martins with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank.

In 1964, Martins Bank Magazine visits all four of the surviving Bootle Branches. A fifth branch, at Strand Road, is closed in 1945 having been destroyed by enemy action in 1941.

The article, which we reproduce below, 99 Stanley Road is referred to as a sub branch to 211 Stanley Road, but by the time of the merger with Barclays, our records show it to have been made up to full branch status.

In Service: April 1889 until 1 September 1978

At this time also, 325 Derby Road Bootle is the main Bootle branch, so it is clear that a major re-shuffle of the power of Bootle’s branches takes place in the last five years of Martins’ existence.

1964 02 MBM.jpg The fourth of our branches in Bootle - 99 Stanley Road, formerly part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank - opened in April 1889. Today it is a sub branch to 211 Stanley Road and the recent installation of a night safe has provided a welcome opportunity for modernisation of the main office. It was our first call on the day we visited the Bootle branches and it was here that we first met the big Bootle smile which, in a heavily industrialised area, acted as a tonic.
