  On 15 December
1969, the “Appointed Day” in the Barclays Bank Act, hundreds of Martins Bank
Branches turned overnight into Branches of Barclays. Ever since, that number
has reduced as ways of doing business along with competition, trends, and any
number of factors backed up by the ever more sophisticated abilities of the
computer have all done away with the need for there to even BE bank
branches. Just a little more than twenty years into the new Century, we find
most banks are closing the equivalent of one branch a day EACH – that’s
easily over 2000 a year. We thought that it might be a fitting tribute to
those branches still standing, and even those who are on the brink of being
given the chop to feature here, showing in bricks and mortar, just how strong
the name of Martins remains, FIFTY-FIVE years on from the MERGER… The
following list of original martins bank branches that are still open, was
last updated Monday 3 June 2024.
