The Bank of Liverpool was a financial institution founded in 1831 in Liverpool, England.
In 1918, it acquired Martins Bank, and the name of the merged bank became the Bank of Liverpool and Martins Ltd. However, the name was shortened to Martins Bank Ltd in 1928.
The successor bank was bought by Barclays Bank Ltd in 1969, when all of its seven hundred branches became branches of Barclays.

Famous quotes containing the word bank:
“on a May morwening upon Malverne hilles
Me befel a ferly, of fairye me thoughte;
I was wery ofwandred and wente me to reste
Under a brod bank by a bournes side;
And as I lay and lenede and lookede on the watres,
I slomerede into a sleeping, it swyede so merye.”
—William Langland (1330–1400)
