History

Honouring
the past

Martins Bank Building, Liverpool’s iconic Grade II* listed building situated on Water Street in the heart of the city. Designed by Herbert Rowse in 1927 and opened in 1932 following 5 years of construction. Martins has been described as Rowse’s “masterpiece… and among the very best interwar classical buildings in the country”. Originally designed as the headquarters for Martins Bank, later bought by Barclays in 1965, operating as their flagship Liverpool branch until 2009.
