The Old Trafford branch of Martins Bank at 555 Chester Road was opened in 1899 as the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bank Ltd. It became a Martins Bank in 1928 and a branch of Barclays in 1969. It was closed in June 1992 after "one too many armed hold-ups" http://www.martinsbank.co.uk/11-61-60%20Manchester%20Old%20Trafford.htm Originally the bank had a second entrance on Talbot Road but that was closed in the 1980s as it was being used as a thoroughfare.
